Plant Description

The Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) is a striking deciduous oak that commands attention with its large, sturdy presence and rugged beauty. It displays dark green, deeply lobed leaves that have a leathery feel, with paler undersides. In autumn, the foliage turns a warm, rustic brown. The acorns are unique, enclosed in bristly, scaly cups that lend a distinctive look. Its gray-brown bark has deep, ridged furrows, adding character. Capable of reaching heights of 25–35 meters, this oak develops a broad canopy, ideal for ample shade in large landscapes.
