Quercus × turneri 'Pseudoturneri' is a handsome hybrid oak that brings timeless structure and evergreen interest to any garden. A cross between the English oak and the Holm oak, it combines the classic shape and stature of native oaks with glossy, semi-evergreen foliage that remains attractive throughout the year. Its rounded, conical form adds a sense of elegance and permanence, making it an ideal focal point for large gardens, parklands, or avenue planting.
This tree is well-regarded for its ability to tolerate urban pollution and coastal exposure, thriving even in challenging environments. Its tough, leathery leaves resist wind and salt, while its slow, steady growth ensures a strong, long-lived presence in the landscape. The foliage often stays through the winter in milder areas, adding year-round greenery and supporting wildlife with its spring catkins.
Low maintenance and reliable, 'Pseudoturneri' suits both formal and naturalistic planting schemes. Whether used as a majestic standalone specimen or integrated into a larger tree canopy, it provides excellent shade and seasonal interest. Fully hardy in the UK, it reaches a height of 1200?cm (39?ft) and a spread of 800?cm (26?ft), promising enduring beauty and performance in a wide range of settings.
Plant Oak into any moist, but well-drained soil in full sun or dappled shade. Can be grown as hedging, or as a stand-alone tree, but plant out with an awareness of the final size of the tree.
