Plants that host truffles - Hollyoak (holm oak - Quercus ilex)

The Holly Oak is a rounded evergreen tree with smooth dark gray bark and lanced shaped, dark glossy green leaves. The leaf shape is variable, the adult leaves are entire, 4–8 cm long and 1–3 cm broad, while those on the lower branches of young trees are often larger (to 10 cm long), and are spiny, resembling that of the common European holly.
