A Plant Select® introduction, Gila Monster™ is a seedling strain of Gambel Oak with genetics that include Bur Oak that grew in New Mexico during the past ice age. Unlike most colony forming Gambel oaks, the Gila Monster™ strain develops into trees with a single trunk. These trees are very drought tolerant once established.
