Oaks so far

Grandson Sidney with (clearly) cork oak, Redford Park, December 2023

A place marker post today, with links to all oak species already mentioned in Talking Plants, before or after it transformed into an oak fest. Where mentioned in more than one post, I've provide a link to the search results from that name. 

Quercus agrifolia (California live oak) 

Quercus alnifolia (golden oak)

Quercus ballota/rotundifolia (ballota oak) 

Quercus canariensis (Algerian oak) 

Quercus candicans (flagpole oak) 

Quercus cerris (Turkey oak) 

Quercus coccifer subspecies calliprinos (Gallipoli oak) 

Quercus dentata (daimyo oak)

Quercus pyrenaica (Pyrenees oak) 

Quercus robur (English oak) 

Quercus rubra (nothern red oak) 

Quercus rysophylla (loquat-leaf oak)

By current reckoning on species numbers, that leaves me with 400 or so still to do. Back to it then.
