Occurs naturally in warm sunny regions on moist calcareous mountainsides. There it sometimes attains a height of up to 20 m. When cultivated, Q. pubescens is grafted onto Q. robur and remains smaller. The grey trunk has deep cork-like grooves. The buds and young twigs are covered in soft felt-like hairs. The leaves vary in shape: obovate to elliptical. Length 5 - 10 cm, width 3 - 5 cm. The underside of the leaf is also covered in soft hairs. The leaves are irregular, mostly with shallow lobes. The lobes are sometimes rounded off bluntly, sometimes pointed. The leaves somewhat resemble those of Q. robur but remain considerably smaller. The acorns are grouped in twos and fours and are half enclosed by the cupule: the latter is covered with contiguous scales that carry felt-like hairs.

Quercus pubescens can eventually reach a height of 12 - 16 (20) m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Quercus pubescens is среднерастущий and can eventually reach a height of 12 - 16 (20) m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The right time to plant Quercus pubescens is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Quercus pubescens with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
