A deciduous oak native to Japan, Korea and China. Very slow growing, it can reach up to 20-25m tall in the wild but is usually much smaller in cultivation (maximum 15m). It is distinguished from other Oaks by its extremely large leaves, that can often be retained dead on the tree throughout winter.
