Plant Description

The Quercus insignis, also known as Encino Chicalaba, is a magnificent oak tree species native to the mountainous regions of Central America. This impressive tree, typically reaching towering heights in nature, features large, leathery leaves with smooth margins and distinctively large, round acorns housed in spiny cups. The bark is rugged and gray, adding a striking texture to its appearance. Grafted specimens, like the 10-30 cm ones you refer to, are typically smaller in stature and offer a more controlled growth, making them ideal for gardens or specialized landscapes.
