PLANT PROFILE

Quercus canariensis, commonly known as the Algerian Oak or Mirbeck’s Oak, is a stately semi-evergreen tree admired for its broad, spreading canopy and handsome glossy foliage. The large, dark green leaves have softly serrated edges and turn golden to russet tones before dropping briefly in winter. Its smooth grey bark matures to a rugged, textured trunk with age, adding character and structure to the landscape. Mature trees typically reach 15–25 metres tall with a spread of 10–15 metres, providing excellent shade and year-round interest.

This Mediterranean species thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, showing excellent tolerance to heat, drought, and wind once established. Quercus canariensis is semi-evergreen in warm climates and partially deciduous in cooler regions, making it adaptable across a range of environments. Hardy and long-lived, it’s suitable for parks, large gardens, and streetscapes where strength, beauty, and resilience are required.

They look excellent as feature trees, planted in avenues, or used for shade in open landscapes. The Algerian Oak’s rich foliage, graceful form, and adaptability make it a versatile and enduring tree for both urban and rural plantings.
