Pyrenean oak
Quercus pyrenaica
Pyrenean oak is a medium to large deciduous oak native to southwestern Europe, valued for its deeply lobed, woolly-backed leaves and its moderate drought tolerance once established. It grows best in full sun to light partial shade in well-drained, slightly acidic soils and is an excellent choice for woodland gardens or naturalistic landscapes. Once established it needs very little care beyond occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells.
