WHAT DOES HOLLY OAK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

holly oak

Quercus ilex

Quercus ilex, the evergreen oak, holm oak or holly oak is a large evergreen oak native to the Mediterranean region. It takes its name from holm, an ancient name for holly. It is a member of the white oak section of the genus, with acorns that mature in a single summer. It was first introduced to the United Kingdom in the 16th century. The first trees to be planted from acorns into England are still to be found growing within the stately grounds of Mamhead Park, Devon. They are uncommonly fine examples; several of these trees are 3 m in circumference at 1 m from the ground, and one of them measures 4 m in circumference. One specimen in Milo, in Sicily is reputed to be 700 years old while a small population on the slopes of northern village of Wardija in Malta are said to be between 500 and 1,000 years old. Quercus ilex is the national tree of Malta and prior to the Carthaginian period was prevalent on the islands.
