The Mexican Oak tree typically grows to 15 m tall and 8 m wide with an upright and somewhat sporadic growth habit. The foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to dark green, then develops impressive yellow tones in autumn before falling. Small, yellow-green flowers in spring produce brown acorns in autumn. Quercus mexicana is commonly grown as a specimen in large gardens and parks where it will provide wonderful summer shade and fabulous autumn colours.
