Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 5 Mature Width: 4 Habitat: Not known
Cultivation Notes: Prefers a good deep fertile loam which can be on the stiff side[1, 11]. Plants are lime tolerant[188]. Young plants tolerate reasonable levels of side shade[200]. Tolerates moderate exposure, surviving well but being somewhat stunted[200].
Prefers warmer summers than are usually experienced in Britain, but trees usually grow well in Britain[200]. The seed takes two years to ripen but is seldom produced in this country[11].
This species is closely related to Q. coccifera and considered to be no more than a synonym of that species by some authorities[11].
Hybridizes freely with other members of the genus[200].
Many species in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
Intolerant of root disturbance, trees should be planted in their permanent positions whilst young[11].
