The holm oak (Quercus ilex) is a robust evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region, valued for its resilience and adaptability. It features dark green, leathery leaves that resemble those of holly, giving it its common name. The tree thrives in a variety of soils, tolerating drought and coastal conditions, making it a popular choice for reforestation and landscaping. Holm oaks produce acorns that serve as an important food source for wildlife, particularly in traditional Spanish dehesa systems, where they support livestock like the famed Iberian pigs. With its dense canopy and longevity, the holm oak plays a crucial ecological role, providing shade, habitat, and stabilizing the environment in its native range.
