Learn About Your New Quercus lusitanica – Lusitanian Oak

Quercus lusitanica, also known as Lusitanian Oak or Gall Oak, is a dense, medium-sized evergreen shrub to small tree that is gaining popularity for its excellent hedging potential, toughness, and attractive soft foliage. Typically reaching a mature height of 3–5 metres, it’s an ideal choice for naturalistic screens, low windbreaks, or clipped formal hedging.

Its finely serrated, mid-green leaves create a lush appearance, while its compact form responds well to shaping. The foliage is dense and year-round, making it highly effective at creating privacy, defining boundaries, or softening hard architectural lines.

Quercus lusitanica is drought-tolerant once established, grows well in full sun, and performs across a wide variety of well-drained soils. It’s a reliable and low-maintenance evergreen that offers landscape value in small to medium-scale plantings where a structured, hardy plant is needed.
