402 The Book of Woodcraft Bear or Scrub Oak. (Quercus ilicifolia) An insignificant tree rarely 25 feet high. Often forming dense thickets, on poor sandy or rocky soil. The leaves are bristle-tipped, 2 to 5 inches long. The acorns ripen in the second season and are so bitter that nobody cares who gets them. The bears were least squeam- ish so were welcome to the crop hence one of the names.
