Quercus × turneri 'Pseudoturneri'Turner’s oak
A hybrid between the holm oak and the pedunculate oak that keeps its dark green leaves for almost the whole winter and only sheds them in spring, as the new growth emerges. A broad, rounded crown, tolerance of lime and wind, and the look of an old oak within a few decades.

About this cultivar
Quercus × turneri 'Pseudoturneri' reaches 10 to 15 metres in height and as much in spread, with a dense, rounded, low crown, on a short trunk with grey, fissured bark. It is the cultivated clone of the cross between Quercus ilex and Quercus robur, raised in England in the 18th century.
The leaves, lobed and leathery, of a glossy dark green, stay on the tree until the end of winter and fall shortly before the new foliage opens, so the crown is never entirely bare. It produces small acorns in favourable years.
It grows at a medium rate in full sun or partial shade and adapts to a variety of soils, including chalky and clay soils, provided they are well drained. It withstands cold, wind and moderate drought, and is a tree for parks, wide avenues and single specimens in lawn.
