Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Quercus pachyphylla Family: Fagaceae Author: Kurz. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: Mature Width: Habitat: 1800 - 3000 metres[146].
Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in many parts of this country. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
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].
Prefers warmer summers than are usually experienced in Britain, trees often grow poorly in this country and fail to properly ripen their wood resulting in frost damage overwinter[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].
