Quercus infectoria (Alleppo oak, gall oak)

Quercus infectoria is famous for the presence of so-called “galls” on the undersides of its leaves. These gall apples are produced by gall wasps and are enriched with tannins. They are used medicinally as antioxidants and for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. The acorns come from a November 2023 collection from Cyprus.
