Quercus prinus 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]. Prefers warmer summers than are usually experienced in Britain[200], but trees still grow well in this country[1]. A slow-growing tree in the wild, though it can live 400 years[229]. The tree produces large crops of acorns every 4 - 7 years, with small crops in the intervening years[229]. The tree flowers on new growth produced in spring, the seed ripening in its first year[200, 229]. This species is often confused with Q. michauxii, Q. muehlenbergii and Q. prinoides[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]. This species is notably resistant to honey fungus[88, 200]. For further Quercus prinus gardening information |
