Quercus trojana – Macedonian oak

View prices and availability
Small semi-evergreen tree with a dense conical crown, eventually 6 to 8 m tall. The young twigs are grey-brown and covered in dense stellate hairs. The old bark is dark grey and grooved with blocky plates. The leaf is ovate-elongated, has a regular serrated margin and is glossy dark green. The acorns are oval and are half to three-quarters enclosed by the blue-green cupule. The cupule is covered with long reflexed scales and the upper scales are erect. Depending on the climate of the tree’s location, the tree will be more or less evergreen. During mild winters, the leaf remains on the tree, although it will fall during cold winters. The Trojan oak occurs in the Balkans and western Asia Minor. The tree was named after the location where the first specimen was described: Troy.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
