Facts:

|
This Oak is noticeably different from our other species such as the Pedunculate or Sessile. It has longer narrower leaves with a group of "hairs" around the base of the leaf. The acorns are stemless. It is not a valuable source of timber in the UK but is often planted as a shield as it is faster growing than other Oak species. |
