Quercus Germana Subsp. Eugermana

German oak, scientifically known as Quercus germana subsp. eugermana, is a rare and ancient tree species native to central Europe. This subspecies of the common oak is distinguished by its unique leaf shape and sturdy, long-lived structure. Found primarily in isolated forest remnants, it thrives in moist, temperate climates with well-drained soils. Due to habitat loss and climate change, the German oak faces significant conservation challenges. Its survival is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance in its native regions.
