Quercus trojana

Very much an oak for the future in the UK, given its preference for warm summers and its drought tolerance. Given the moniker 'Macedonian Oak' it is in fact a Balkan, SE Italian and Turkish deciduous oak, related to Q. cerris, but with rather different foliage and only forming a small to medium sized densely branched tree, to a maximum of about 20m here in the UK at full maturity. The persistent leaves are glossy green, oblong, taper pointed and margined with large triangular teeth; remaining on the tree often until the New Year.
