Noteworthy Characteristics

Quercus ilex, commonly called holly oak or holm oak, is a medium to large evergreen oak that typically grows to 40-70’ (less frequently to 90’) tall and features upright branching, dense foliage, a rounded crown with branches extending near the ground and fissured gray bark. It is native to the Mediterranean region (southern Europe and northern Africa), with a concentration in forested areas on the Iberian Peninsula. It was introduced to California in 1858, and has now naturalized along the coast from San Diego north to British Columbia.

Leathery, ovate, dark green evergreen leaves typically grow to 3” long by 1” wide and are downy gray beneath. Leaves may reach 5” long on suckers. Leaf margins have spiny-edged, holly-like teeth when young (hence the common name of holly oak), but become smooth-edged with age. Ornamentally insignificant, monoecious, yellowish-green flowers (females in small clusters and males in dangling catkins) bloom in April-May. Female flowers are followed by small acorns (each to 1 1/2” long) which ripen in September-October. Each acorn is enclosed within a scaly, rough-textured cup which covers about 1/3 to 1/2 of the acorn. Genus name comes from the classical Latin name for oak trees. Specific epithet is the genus name for holly in reference to the holly-like shape of some leaves. Holm comes from the Middle English word holing meaning prickly.
