Quercus salicifolia is a species of oak. It is native to central and southern Mexico and Central America, from Jalisco to Panama.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Description[edit]

Quercus salicifolia is a tree up to 25 metres (82 feet) tall, with a trunk up to 100 centimetres (39 inches) in diameter. The leaves are narrowly lance-shaped, up to 20 cm (8 in) long, with no teeth or lobes.^[3]^[7]

The epithet "salicifolia" means "willow-leaved" alluding to the resemblance between the leaves of Q. salicifolia and those of several species of Salix.
