Quercus ×turneri 'Pseudoturneri' – Turner's oak

View prices and availability
Quercus turneri is a semi-evergreen tree, a cross between Q. ilex en Q. robur. 'Pseudoturneri' is a completely evergreen cultivar that develops from a shrub to become a sometimes multi-trunked tree with a height of 8 - 10 m. It grows upwards and later spreads out in the breadth. Young twigs are pale yellow and covered with felt-like hairs. The leaves are leathery, 5 - 13 cm long and 2.5 - 4 cm wide. They have 4 to 8 shallow lobs or serrations. On the upper side they are dark green, on the underside grey and covered with felt-like hairs. The evergreen foliage falls only after the winter, when the new leaves emerge. The remarkable flowers contrast well with the glossy dark green leaves. The long-stemmed acorns are one-third to a half enclosed by the cupule.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
