Plant Description

The Quercia Vallonea, or Valonia Oak, is a majestic deciduous tree, celebrated for its sprawling branches and dense canopy. Native to the Mediterranean region, this impressive oak features deeply lobed, dark green leaves with a leathery texture. Its distinctive acorns, housed in large, fringed cups, were historically used for tanning leather due to their high tannin content. The Quercia Vallonea is a symbol of strength and longevity, often thriving in poor, rocky soils. With its striking silhouette and ecological importance, it’s a remarkable species for natural and cultivated landscapes.
