Lithocarpus are evergreen trees related to both oak and chestnut. The acorns are like oak and the clusters of white flower spikes are like chestnut. The flowers are showy but ill scented. This species is native to eastern Asia and makes a nice dense evergreen tree somewhat like Quercus glauca. It is a useful tree for the South and should have an open site with good soil that is well-drained.
