Algerian oak
Quercus canariensis
Algerian oak is a large, semi-evergreen or deciduous tree well suited to parks, large gardens, and open landscapes where it can reach impressive size over time. It prefers deep, well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade, tolerating a range of soil types once established. Minimal pruning is needed; young trees benefit from regular watering until roots are established.
