We have very data
about this species of oak tree because it is rare in Europe and North America. The photos
are taken from a young specimen which we found at Batsford Arboretum.
Brant's Oak (quercus
brantii)
Brant's Oak is easily distinguished from other oak tree due to
the spiny shape of the lightly lobed leaves.
The immature leaves are lighter green.
