Here are closeups of the five common species of oak at Jasper Ridge: coast live oak, valley oak, blue oak, black oak, and leather oak. All but the leather oak have verdant new growth, new leaves, blossoms, and katkins. The leather oak, adapted for serpentine soil, has a harder life; it may burst forth later. Enjoy the spring!
