| | California mixed evergreen forest. |
 | | The Mixed Evergreen Forest plant community is found mostly in the northern coastal mountains of California, though extending down to the central coastal mountains. |
 | | Some of the component species include Tanbark Oak (Lithocarpus densiflora), Madrone (Arbutus menziesii), Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), California Bay (Umbellularia californica), Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum), Canyon Live Oak (Quercus chrysolepis), Black Oak (Quercus kelloggii), Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and California Hazelnut (Corylus californica). |
 | | However, you can grow these species, where temperatures often drop into the teens, by planting them under cover of oaks or on the lower side of structures. |
