Description
Quercus ilex (holm oak)
In the Mediterranean region, the holm oak is a classic. It occurs from Portugal to Turkey, from Tunisia to Morocco. Due to climate warming, it is given good chances also in Central Europe.
The acorns are from a collection of October 2023 (Portugal). These are stored in a mixture of sand kept cool. Care is taken to ensure that only intact acorns (without worm bites, etc.) are shipped. A swimming test is also carried out for this purpose.
The acorns are shipped in a bag with slightly moistened soil mixture. It is recommended to store them in soil/sand in the refrigerator for about 4 weeks before planting. Please keep acorns away from small children (risk of ingestion).
