acorns in clusters on ends of shoots
Plant Profile: Lithocarpus henryi
Names
Henry Tanbark Oak
Phonetic Spelling:lith-oh-KAR-pus HEN-ree-eye
Genus:Lithocarpus
Species:henryi
Family:Fagaceae
This plant thrives best in partial shade and is well-suited for urban environments due to its resilience to heat and drought. In spring, it produces inconspicuous white flowers, followed by acorns in the fall.
Characterized as a striking large shrub or a small tree with multiple trunks, it remains evergreen throughout the year. Its tropical look and open growth habit make it an unsuitable choice for those who prefer evergreens to be pruned into a compact, uniform shape.
