Quercus acutifolia, many synonyms including Quercus conspersa, is a species of oak tree.[2] It is native to central and southern Mexico and northern Central America, from Nayarit south as far as Belize and Guatemala.[3][4]
It is a deciduous tree growing up to 12 metres (39 feet) tall with a trunk as much as 30 centimetres (12 inches) in diameter. The leaves are stiff and leathery, rigid, narrowly elliptical, up to 16cm long, dark green on the top and lighter green underneath, with 8–14 bristly teeth on each side.[3] It retains its leaves until winter and can withstand about -10°C.
