Plant Description

Quercus variabilis, commonly known as the Chinese cork oak, is a deciduous tree known for its deeply furrowed, corky bark and broad, rounded canopy. Its glossy, dark green leaves are oblong, with serrated edges, turning a vibrant yellow in the fall. The tree can reach heights of 20 to 25 meters and produces small acorns that mature in autumn. Quercus variabilis is highly prized for its cork-producing bark, similar to that of the cork oak, and its ability to thrive in various environments, making it a versatile choice for large landscapes.
