Quercus viminea, the Sonoran oak, [3] or Mexican willow oak, [1] is a North American species of oak. It is native to northwestern and west-central Mexico ( Sonora, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Durango, Nayarit, Jalisco), primarily in the Sierra Madre Occidental. The species range extends just north of the international border into Santa Cruz County in southern Arizona. [4]
Quercus viminea is an evergreen or drought-deciduous tree growing up to 10 metres (33 feet) tall. The leaves are narrowly lance-shaped, up to 15 centimetres (6 inches) long. [5] [6]
