Acorns After a photograph by Sanyuhwa, 2014 |
||||||||||
| A branch from the kermes oak (Quercus coccifera), bearing its characteristic green acorns with rough, scaly cups. The leathery leaves have spiny edges, giving the plant a somewhat holly-like appearance. Native to the Mediterranean region, this evergreen oak provides food for wildlife, especially squirrels and birds. |
