Quercus cerris, commonly known as the Turkey Oak, is a deciduous tree native to southern Europe and western Asia. With its broad, spreading canopy and deeply lobed leaves, it offers shade and visual interest in landscapes. This oak species is prized for its rapid growth rate and adaptability to various soil types, including poor and acidic soils. Quercus cerris produces inconspicuous flowers in spring, followed by small acorns that are a food source for wildlife. Its tolerance to urban pollution and its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions make it a popular choice for urban forestry and landscaping projects.
