The Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) is an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. It typically grows to a height of 15 to 25 meters and features thick, leathery leaves that are dark green on top and lighter underneath. The tree produces acorns, which are an important food source for various wildlife. Holm Oaks are often used in landscaping and reforestation due to their resilience to drought and ability to thrive in poor soils. They provide shade and habitat for birds and insects, contributing to the biodiversity of their ecosystems. Their wood is also valued for its durability and strength, making it suitable for furniture and flooring.
