Quercus hui seed

LATIN NAME: QUERCUS HUI

COMMON NAME: Hui’s Oak

The Hui’s oak glosses the tall, evergreen tree with the leathery, glossy, dark-green leaves with the wavy margins, the leaves glossing the dense crown through the year, the small, green catkins opening through the spring, the round, brown acorns following in the shallow cups. The tree grows steadily into the dense, rounded crown, and it likes the sun or the light shade, and the deep, moist, well-drained soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The glossy evergreen foliage of the Hui’s oak gives it a recognised place in the research on the warm-climate evergreen oaks of the great oak group, and the hui species appears in the studies of the leaf waxes and the year-round crown build. The work looks at the way the leathery leaves hold the gloss, the hard timber, and the seed biology. The foresters value the wood, and the growers of the warm-climate shade and evergreen trees keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the warm garden, the Hui’s oak glosses the warm garden with the leathery, dark leaves. The foliage gives the dense shade and the shelter, the acorns feed the birds and the small mammals, and the timber serves the building and the fuel. It thrives in the deep, moist, well-drained, sunny or lightly shaded ground. Glossy, evergreen and sheltering.

To grow the Hui’s Oak from seed, sow the acorns into the deep, sandy drills of the open bed in the autumn, then cover them well, keep the drills gently watered.

Sow the acorns into the deep, sandy drills of the open bed, and give the young trees the open, sunny spot. The gloss leaves come within a few seasons. , and the young trees break through over the spring. The gloss leaves will darken within a few seasons.
