Quercus Ilex Info was created by alainleon1983

Posted 10 years 4 months ago #13900
Hi guys,

In my search for new interesting trees I?ve come acquainted with a reasonably beautiful holm oak (Quercus Ilex) near my house. It is planted in the ground, it has a couple of nicely developed low branches, a natural deadwood feature that I like, a well tapered trunk and is about 60 to 70 cms tall (Can?t say anything about the nebari because I can?t see it fully, it is well underground ;) )

Well, the reason I?m writing this is because I want to collected when Spring comes, but in the search for information regarding this species I haven?t been able to locate any accurate, reliable or acknowledgeable source... So, I was wondering... Can any one of you help me in this task? Do any of you already owns such specimen? And if so... Would you advise me with a care guide?

Thank you all in advance...

Alain

That's interesting, bonsai4me.com lists three species but not that. The RHS guide starts with saying it is evergreen, would you agree? I did not read it all but it might help,

I think i have seen one of them somewhere. Ilex meaning holly to me suggests it may be evergreen.

Thanks Jaimin and Geoff... Indeed, I haven?t been able to find accurate info about this species or at least none directly focusing on this species as a bonsai. 名媛直播4me doesn?t cover it and even if I?ve found images of Quercus Ilex 名媛直播 trees, data on the web seems to be scarce.

Oh... And yes it is an evergreen species. Right now is retaining all of its leaves when most deciduous species around my location don?t. The link you both posted remains too general, but at least is a start... So, thank you both I say.

It oul be a very intersting specimen i am sure but if you hro it from seed it is a slow grower and will take tn years maybe to get a decent specimen. I am sure it would be hardy. If no informatiion i present on the internet thm maybe water it like any other tree and see how goes.

As it is a Med species I wonder if it hardy here or would need frost protection,
