Genus of about 600 species of monoecious, semi-deciduous or evergreen trees and shrubs, widely distributed in woodlands and scrub of the Northern Hemisphere. Quercus pyrenaica is a medium-sized deciduous tree up to 10-15 m tall, sometimes shrubby, especially in less fertile soils. The leaves are elliptical and deeply lobed, with lobes that are themselves lobulated. Rather squat brown acorns with a slightly enveloping brown dome. This species is widespread in southern France, in Spain and as far as Morocco. It grows in pastures, lowland and hill forests.
Pedoclimatic needs
It prefers deep and fresh soils but also adapts to superficial and dry ones. Requires sunny positions and adequate space. Partially rustic species, it resists cold and not too intense frosts down to -8°/-12°c.
