Occurs on moist hillsides in Turkey and the Caucasus and grows into a large shrub or multi-trunked tree. Often grown in the cultivated state as a small single-trunked tree. The bark on old trunks and lateral branches fissures irregularly and causes loose bark plates to detach. The large angular winter buds are a very remarkable feature. The large leathery leaves are obovate to oval, with regular serrations and are green with a bluish-green underside. They are 15 - 20 cm long and 6 - 10 cm wide. The flowers, pendulous catkins, are remarkable. The elongated ovoid acorns are approx. 2 - 3.5 cm long and one-third to one-quarter enclosed in the cupule, the latter being covered with contiguous felt-like scales. Quercus pontica is a decorative tree for parks and small gardens. Prefers a warm and sunny site.
