  • Description

  • Notes

The Lithocarpus densiflorus is a tree that has the ability to remain free from troubles such as pests and disease. It is very shade tolerant and its spreading branches are covered with sharply toothed leaves and whitish or yellowish wool. The wool colors will later change into a smooth green with a gray green accent below.
