This narrow-leaved variety of Lebanon oak forms a graceful medium-sized tree with a broad ovoid crown. The tree grows with relatively thin twigs, forming a dense crown. The young twigs are lacy and covered with downy grey-white hairs. The leaf is lanceolate, 5 to 10 cm long and 1.5 to 2 cm wide. On the upper side it is a glossy dark green, the underside is lighter. Like the species, the edge is sharply toothed. The acorns are two-thirds enclosed by the nap, which is set with broad adjacent scales. A beautiful, graceful park tree first described in 1892.
