Description
Quercus mexicana (Mexico oak)
Quercus mexicana (Mexico Oak) is (unsurprisingly) native to Mexico. It is widely used there. This species of oak grows up to 20 meters high.
Its wood is used for ship masts or barrels.Quercus mexicana likes dry soils and tolerates up to -15 degrees.
The acorns are from a collection of October 2023 (South of France). These are stored in a mixture of sand kept cool. Care is taken to ensure that only intact acorns (without worm bites, etc.) are shipped. A swimming test is also carried out for this purpose.
The acorns are shipped in a bag with slightly moistened soil mixture. It is recommended to store them in soil/sand in the refrigerator for about 4 weeks before planting. Please keep acorns away from small children (risk of ingestion).
