    Interesting dark grey bark in plates; grows 40-60 ft. tall and wide. Holds leaves late, and they usually drop still holding their green color. A rugged, impressive, drought-tolerant tree.

    Native to southern Europe and Asia Minor, a deciduous tree, growing to 30' or so at a medium rate. The bark is dark gray and furrowed, eventually showing orange streaks at the base of mature trunks, and leaves are multi-lobed, dark, glossy green in a dense, rounded canopy. Full to part sun. Very tolerant, accepting many soils, summer drought, as well as both inland and coastal conditions. A good urban street tree. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6.
