Prezentare
Barro, cunoscut scientific sub numele de *Quercus brantii*, este un arbore decidu originar din zonele aride și semiaride ale Irakului, Iranului, Libanului-Siriei, Transcaucasiului și Turciei. Această specie de cărbune thrives în soare și preferă soluri bine aeriate, variând de la ușoară (sandy) până la grea (clay), tolerând atât condițiile umide sec sănătoase cât și cele umede. Este durabil în zonele 7-9 și poate crește până la o înălțime de 8 metri. Barro este notabil pentru acornurile sale comestibile, făcându-l un resursă importantă în zona sa nativă. Adaptabilitatea sa la diverse tipuri de sol și condiții climatice face din acest arbore o adaugare interesantă în jardine sau în landscape-uri naturale unde spațiul și gestionarea apelor sunt considerări.
