Quercus myrsinifolia, also known as the bamboo-leaf oak, Chinese evergreen oak, or Chinese ring-cupped oak, is an evergreen tree native to the mountains of East Asia, including China, Japan, Korea, Laos, northern Thailand, and Vietnam.
It is known for its unique and beautiful foliage, which consists of:
- Lanceolate to elliptical leaves: These leaves are 60-110 mm long and 18-40 mm wide, with a shiny green surface and a purplish-bronze color when young.
- Serrated margins: The edges of the leaves have small, pointed teeth.
- Long petioles: The leaves are attached to the branches by 10-25 mm long petioles.
The leaves of Quercus myrsinifolia are leathery and glossy, making them resistant to drought and pests. They add a year-round ornamental value to the tree, as they remain green throughout the year.
