Quercus macedon (syn. Quercus firthii) is a rare and unique oak species valued for its distinctive, deeply lobed leaves and robust growth habit. This deciduous tree can reach heights of 15-20 meters, forming a broad, rounded canopy that provides ample shade. The foliage emerges with a fresh green hue in spring, turning a rich golden-brown in autumn, adding seasonal interest to landscapes. It thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade, demonstrating good adaptability to various growing conditions. Quercus macedon is a desirable choice for large gardens, parks, and naturalized areas, offering both aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits.
