IPrezentare
Prezentare
Aleppo Oak (Quercus infectoria) este un arbore decidu original din regiunile Mediteraneene și a Mijlociei Orientale, inclusiv Cipru, Însulele Aegeanului de est, Grecia, Iran, Irak, Lebanon-Syria, Palestina, Transcaucasus și Turcia. Conștiință pentru acornurile sale cuibabile, acest dâmbovițar poate floreaza în soarele complet sau parțial însoțit de suște umide care sunt medii până la grele (argila). În zonele USDA 6-8, acest arbore crește bine, atingând o înălțime de aproximativ 1,8 metri când este tare. Această plantă este valorificată nu numai pentru utilizările culinare sale, ci și pentru apere ornamentale în jardine și parcuri. O caracteristică distincționantă a dâmbovițarului de Aleppo este capacitatea sa de adaptare la diferite condiții de suște, în timp ce necesită o umiditate adecvată.
