Geocache Description:

Garry Oak (Quercus garryana)

Garry Oak trees grow to about 500 years old and grace the skyline of Sequim.



In deeper soils, the oaks grow to become stately trees. There are very few places left where these older trees are growing in intact ecosystems, with younger trees coming along to replace them.

Garry Oak is one of the white oaks. It is very slow growing, in part because it is so often found in austere habitat. In dry summers, some oaks will shed their leaves, and put on a new set if there is some late summer moisture.

You will see some beautiful examples of this majestic tree along the Sequim portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail.
