Quercus cerris, commonly known as the Turkey oak, is a robust and fast-growing deciduous tree native to southeastern Europe and Asia Minor. It is widely cultivated across Europe for its adaptability and ornamental value. The tree features deeply lobed, glossy green leaves that often persist into winter, and rough, deeply fissured bark that adds texture and character. One of its most distinctive features is its acorns, which are enclosed in a spiky, moss-like cup, giving the tree a unique appearance in autumn. Turkey oak can reach heights of 65 to 100 feet, making it suitable for large landscapes, parks, and avenues. It grows well in a variety of soils, including poor or dry conditions, and tolerates urban environments and pollution. While not native to the UK, it has been widely planted there since the 18th century. Quercus cerris also provides valuable habitat and food for wildlife, supporting biodiversity.
