Turners Oak

Quercus turnerii Pseudoturneri, known as Turners Oak, was bred in Essex in the 18th century and can be regarded as a semi-evergreen as it holds on to a good proportion of its leaves throughout the winter unless temperatures dip into negative for prolonged periods.

In spring, new green leaves grow, replacing the old ones that soon fall.

Thriving on most well-drained ground, Quercus turnerii Pseudoturneri will also happily grow on chalky soils.

It makes an excellent small specimen for a large garden or parkland, rarely seen above 12 metres at maturity.

Mature height: 7-12m
