The Pedunculate Oak can be recognized by its wavy leaves bearing two auricles around an almost non-existent petiole. The acorns, embedded in their cup, are carried by long peduncles, hence its name.
Accommodating all types of soil, it is a common tree in our forests with a powerful straight trunk topped with a tortuous crown. But it is solitary as it unfolds, majestic, developing large horizontal branches on a stocky trunk.
Its hard and dense wood gives it its name “robur”, in Latin, which means solidity, strength, energy, from which the adjective roborative derives, from the Latin “robare”, to strengthen.
Among the Celts, it is the sacred tree par excellence, the door of communication between earth and sky, the one which offers hospitality, the temple, and the druid dru-, tree, oak, and -uid, knowledge , the guardian of knowledge and wisdom.
Crossing the centuries, it inspires courage, vigor and endurance, a crown of oak leaves adorned the brave warriors.
