Quercus serrata, the jolcham oak[3] (Chinese: 枹栎; pinyin: bāolì, Japanese: 小楢 (konara)),[4] is an East Asian species of tree in the beech family. It is native to China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea.[5][6]
Description
Quercus serrata is a
glabrous with age. The petioles are short (3 cm). The flowers are pistillate inflorescences from 1.5–3 cm (1⁄2–1+1⁄4 in) long, occurring in March to April. The seeds are oval-shaped acorns 1.7–2 cm (5⁄8–3⁄4 in) long and take one year to mature. A cup with trichomes and triangular shaped scales covers 1⁄4 to 1⁄3 of the acorn.[5]
The plant frequently attracts
stinkbugs which lay their eggs inside them.[7]
