Our trees are grown from several batches of acorns collected in Syria before the ongoing civil war, from the far western area known as the Abu Qubies Reserve in the Al Ghrab area of western Syria. This species is deciduous and hybridises quite freely, so our trees are quite varied in leaf shape, but all will grow into large, hardy, beautiful trees.
The acorns are often very large compared to the native Portuguese trees. In the Middle East they are used for tanning leather and dyeing cloth, as are the unripe acorns.Ripe acorns are eaten raw or cooked.

We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
