Quercus Toza Var. Spectabilis

Toza oak, scientifically known as Quercus toza var. spectabilis, is a rare and striking species native to the mountainous regions of Central America. Its unique appearance, characterized by vibrant foliage and distinctive bark, makes it a standout among oak varieties. This plant thrives in humid, shaded environments, often found in cloud forests where it plays a vital ecological role. Despite its beauty, Toza oak remains little-known outside of botanical circles due to its limited distribution. Conservation efforts are increasingly important to protect this endangered species from habitat loss and climate change.
