Macedonian oak

Macedonian oak (Quercus trojana) is a species of oak tree native to the Mediterranean region. It is part of the Quercus genus, which encompasses about 450 species of trees and shrubs distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Oaks are known for their alternate, simple leaves, which can be deciduous or evergreen, and their fruit, the acorn.1

Macedonian oak is cultivated as an ornamental tree. Like other oaks, it provides acorns that can be a food source for wildlife and, in some cases, can be processed for human consumption. Oak lumber is widely used in construction, furniture making, and other applications.1
