	Blue oak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blue oak (Quercus douglasii) is an oak in the white oak section of the genus, Quercus sect.
		Blue oaks are medium-sized trees growing up to 15–25 m tall, usually with a somewhat irregularly-shaped crown, and a trunk 0.5–1 m in diameter.
		The name Blue oak derives from the dark blue-green tint of its leaves, which are deciduous, 4–10 cm long, and entire or shallowly lobed.

	Blue oak regeneration
		This release was mainly caused by the liberal cutting and burning of the presettlement blue oak overstory that occurred between the 1850's and the first decades of the 20th century.
		The extent of oak woodland clearing conducted prior to the 1940's is poorly documented, perhaps due to the fact that "clearing the wilderness" was such a mundane and normal practice among California's early settlers.
		Blue oak regeneration does not generally respond quickly to a cessation of grazing because simply removing livestock does not cause the landscape to revert to its presettlement condition.
