Quercus leucotrichophora PAB 7164

Collected from Shillong, NE India, this Cyclobalanopsis oak makes one of the most handsome of all Quercus. The striking evergreen narrowly oval to lance shaped leaves are up to 15cm long, glossy green above and densely white felted beneath and the bark peels off ornamentally in large flakes. Nearly fully hardy, this is best planted in a favoured site.
