Sandy, they are also sometimes called White Oaks or Mexican Oaks as well as Monterey Oaks. Someone recommended them to me when I was looking for a tree to replace the one we had to remove from the front of our house. The house faces west and I wanted a great tree like a live oak, but wanted something that grew faster than a live oak, since I needed the tree to shade the house in summer. I am so happy with the Monterey oak! So, definitely check them out!
