Common Name:  Hungarian oak
Family:  Fagaceae
Author:  Ten.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  30   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Not known

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a good deep fertile loam which can be on the stiff side[1, 11]. Young plants tolerate reasonable levels of side shade[200]. Tolerates moderate exposure, surviving well but being somewhat stunted[200]. This species thrives in Britain, despite our cooler summers, but it only bears acorns occasionally[11]. The acorns ripen in their first year[200]. Intolerant of root disturbance, trees should be planted in their permanent positions whilst young[11]. Hybridizes freely with other members of the genus[200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
