MMMM1: Quercus robur-Quercus peduncolata, Farnia, english Oak, hrast Dob

Maximum height: 30m, but it is the tickest tree of Quercus family; trunk can reach 6-7m in circumference!

Habitat (natural reproduction): only on the large basins of Internal Karst, in flat areas subject to periodic flooding, so it likes wet (soaked also) and rich soil.
Continental micro-climate.

Spread On The Territory: in the areas described above, that's Pivka and Postojnska kotlina, Rakov Skocijan, Planinsko polje, Cerknisko polje and Loska Dolina, up to 6-700m.

Distinctive features: leaves cover the stem to the base of the branch.

In Italy, the fine wood of Quercus robur is also named "Rovere della Slavonia".

Quercus robur-peduncolata hybridizes easily with Quercus petraea-sessiflora, so many details are sometimes lost.

On Karst Area there are also "Quercus rubra" (www.flickr.com/photos/76924765@N02/7368080398/in/photostream) and "Quercus frainetto" but they are not wild.

Quercus rubra is planted for the copious production of acorns in the hunt for wild boar; in those areas it seems able to re-produce itself.

The family of the Oaks is the largest in Karst region, it has 9 different species, not all indigenous.
