The slow-growing red-listed Q. hinckleyi from Texas thrives and fruits (but unfortunately with pollen from the native Q. pubescens), and shows beautiful pink new growths against its tiny grey-blue evergreen leaves. It is drought-tolerant, but sadly is endangered in the wild. This one is apparently the largest in France.
