Sporadic in lowland woods Tree to 30 m tall. Leaves 5-12 cm Skye ID: Leaves have characteristic lobed shape. Told from Durmast Oak by the leaves having stalks mostly only a few mm long, and all of them less than 10 mm long. In Durmast Oak practically all of them are more than 10 mm long. Hybrids occur. Other features: In contrast to the leaves, the acorns (singly or in groups) are on stalks over 2 cm long, whereas on Durmast Oak these stalks are less than 1 cm. The basal lobes of the leaves project back beyond where the leaf blade meets the stalk, whereas Durmast Oak leaves taper towards the stalk. |
