Chinese Cork Oak (Quercus variabilis)
Description
Quercus variabilis is a medium-sized to large deciduous tree growing to 25-30 metres (82-98 ft) tall with a rather open crown, and thick corky bark with deep fissures and marked by sinuous ridges. The leaves are simple, acuminate, variable in size, 8-20 centimetres (3.1-7.9 in) long and 2-8 centimetres (0.79-3.15 in) broad, with a serrated margin with each vein ending in a distinctive fine hair-like tooth; they are green above and silvery below with dense short pubescence.
