Discover the elegance of Quercus myrsinifolia, Bamboo-Leaf Oak, or Chinese Evergreen Oak—a captivating addition to any landscape. Native to the vibrant regions of southern China, Japan, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, this broadleaf evergreen reaches heights of 20-30 feet, with a dense, rounded crown. Its lustrous dark green leaves, adorned with a unique drip tip, bring a touch of sophistication, complemented by charming bronze young foliage. Ideal for USDA Zones 7-9, it thrives in sunlit, lime-free soils, enduring temperatures as low as 0°F once established.

Beyond its refined aesthetic, this species offers versatility—perfect as a street tree, majestic garden centerpiece, or distinctive container plant. The tree's narrow acorns, ripening within their first year, reflect its roots in the illustrious Fagaceae family. Historically underestimated, its distinctive "ring-cupped" acorns garner admiration, offering a nod to its prominence among Asian evergreen oaks. Whether gracing urban landscapes, or enriching private gardens, Quercus myrsinifolia exemplifies nature's artistry— an enduring testament to grace and resilience.
