Quercus ilex, commonly known as the Holm Oak or Evergreen Oak, is an evergreen tree with lush foliage. The dark green leaves are glossy and complemented with small, yellow-green flowers in spring which result in acorns in autumn. The Holm Oak will typically grow to 15 m tall and 10 m wide with a rounded, dense crown. Quercus ilex is often grown as a specimen in large gardens and parks, but is also well suited to Mediterranean themed gardens.

Quercus ilex Details

Quercus ilex, commonly known as the Holm Oak or Evergreen Oak, is an evergreen tree with lush foliage. The dark green leaves are glossy and complemented with small, yellow-green flowers in spring which result in acorns in autumn. The Holm Oak will typically grow to 15 m tall and 10 m wide with a rounded, dense crown. It performs best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun, though it is tolerant of moderate frost, cool climates, dry periods, heavy soils, and some wind. Quercus ilex is often grown as a specimen in large gardens and parks, but is also well suited to Mediterranean themed gardens.
