Quercus petraea
Quercus petraea, commonly known as the sessile oak or Welsh oak, is a large deciduous tree native to most of Europe and into Anatolia and Iran. It can grow up to 40 meters tall and is characterized by its evenly lobed leaves with five to six lobes on each side. The male flowers are grouped into catkins produced in the spring, and the fruit is an acorn that matures in about six months.
