Evergreen oak
Quercus ilex
Evergreen oak is a stately, long-lived Mediterranean tree that adapts well to a range of soils and tolerates coastal conditions. Young trees need regular watering to establish, but mature specimens require very little intervention and are highly resilient. Plant in full sun to light partial shade and allow plenty of space, as this tree can reach significant size over time.
