Quercus fruticosa Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses 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 is not hardy in the colder areas of the country, it tolerates temperatures down to between -5 and -10°c[200]. Prefers warmer summers than are usually experienced in Britain, but plants usually grow well in Britain[200]. Produces suckers[200]. Plants are often very low growing, to about 30cm tall, and spread out to form a carpet[200]. The seed ripens in its 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]. For further Quercus fruticosa gardening information |
