The tree contains tannins, which are polyphenolic compounds known for their astringent properties. These tannins are commonly found in the bark, leaves, and acorns of the oak tree. They play a role in the tree's defense against herbivores and pathogens.
The Hungarian Oak is cultivated for ornamental purposes in parks and large gardens. The cultivar 'Hungarian Crown' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It is also used for timber and as a food source for wildlife.
