Quercus coccifera Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a good deep fertile loam which can be on the stiff side[1, 11]. Lime tolerant[188]. Young plants tolerate reasonable levels of side shade[200]. Tolerates moderate exposure, surviving well but being somewhat stunted[200]. A very ornamental plant[1], it thrives in Britain[200]. A shrub growing in dappled woodland shade at Cambridge Botanic Gardens produced a few ripe seeds after the hot summer of 1989, though the vast majority of seeds were aborted[K]. The fruit ripens in its second year[11]. Intolerant of root disturbance, trees should be planted in their permanent positions whilst young[11]. Any transplanting should be done once growth has commenced in late May or in September[11]. Hybridizes freely with other members of the genus[200]. This species is notably resistant to honey fungus[88, 200]. For further Quercus coccifera gardening information |
