Quercus castaneifolia

One of the fastest growing and truly most magnificent of all oaks; one only needs to visit Kew to see this, where the original introduction of 1846 is still growing strongly. A superb specimen for a large garden or parkland forming a huge rounded crown with great vigour; suited to most soils plus heat and drought tolerant. The leaves are rather chestnut-like, funnily enough, margined with coarse, triangular teeth and the acorns sit in fairly large and very 'hairy' cups. I've seen forests of this species in S. Azerbaijan, growing with Parrotia, Zelkova, etc.
