Hungarian oak

The Hungarian Oak (Quercus frainetto) is a large, deciduous tree native to southeastern Europe, known for its impressive height and distinctive features. Reaching heights of 20 to 30 meters, this oak has a broad, rounded canopy and a sturdy trunk that can develop deep furrows as it ages. Its bark is greyish-brown, providing a textured, rough appearance that’s characteristic of many oak species. The tree’s long, lobed leaves are glossy green in summer, turning vibrant golden-yellow or reddish-brown in autumn, and its acorns are particularly large with a deep, distinctive cup that covers about a third of their length. These acorns serve as an essential food source for local wildlife, from birds to squirrels, making the Hungarian Oak a key player in the forest ecosystem. The Hungarian Oak's hardiness, coupled with its majestic presence, makes it an important tree species for European forests, especially in reforestation efforts.

About Confolens forest

We are planting a mixed forest that will be managed according to the principles of irregular high forest on these former agricultural plots that could not find a buyer.

Located in the north, equidistant from Limoges and Angoulême, the small town of Confolens is situated in the heart of a region with a long history of agriculture. A land of vineyards and pastures, Charente produces the grapes used to make cognac, but remains less forested than the neighbouring Dordogne department. It is therefore appropriate to plant a new forest here, which will allow a rich ecosystem to develop.

On these former agricultural plots of some 6 hectares, there are hedges that we will preserve, as well as the habitat trees that have their place in a mixed forest.
