The statement is - True.
The chaparral is a heathland or shrubland plant community that is primarily found in California and Mexico. The chaparral can be found in most of California, but it is most common in the southern half of the state, and in Mexico it is characteristic for the Baja California Peninsula, in the northwestern part of the country. It is an evergreen plant community, and it grows on places that are semi-arid. Its name ''chaparral'' derives from the Spanish word for ''evergreen oaks''.
