Distribution

More info for the term: shrub

Bush chinquapin occurs in mountainous regions of California and southern
Oregon. It is distributed along the Pacific Coast from the San Jacinto
and San Bernadino mountains north through the Coast Ranges to
southwestern Oregon. Eastward it is distributed through the Sierra
Nevada and Cascade Range to south-central Oregon [9,25,33]. Giant
chinquapin has a shrub form that is difficult to distinguish from bush
chinquapin, and there is some confusion as to the exact distribution of
each [25].
