Quercus acutissima has continued to grow rapidly through the driest of years. Often, but not invariably, takes on an ungainly shape, but one here is amongst the tallest of the oaks (18 metres in 2016).

Q. acutissima awaits spring before the acorns sprout, a delay that allows it to establish in colder climates and maintain a wider range in Japan
