Quercus canariensis

This is a handsome, large, fast-growing tree with grey, deeply-fissured bark. Its glossy-green leaves turn yellow and brown in autumn, and in warm climates, it can be semi-evergreen. Quercus canariensis produces large crops of acorns and can grow equally well on light and heavy soils. It is also tolerant of dry, coastal sites. Quercus canariensis is deciduous and native to Algeria, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, and Tunisia.
