Quercus acherdophylla is a species of oak native to Mexico.
Quercus acherdophylla is typically a medium-sized evergreen tree, up to 25 metres (82 ft) tall. Its appearance is similar to Quercus laurina , particularly its leaf size. The acorns of Q. acherdophylla mature annually, in contrast to the biennial acorn maturation of Q. laurina. [1]
Quercus acherdophylla lives in cloud forests along the eastern slopes of the southern Sierra Madre Oriental and easternmost Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt in the states of Hidalgo, Puebla, and Veracruz, extending into the northern Sierra Madre de Oaxaca of northernmost Oaxaca state. [1]
It inhabits very humid ravines between 1,800 and 2,500 metres (5,900 and 8,200 ft) elevation. Its population can be sparse in portions of its range. It is a dominant species on mountain ridges in the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca of Huautla de Jiménez, Oaxaca. [1]
The population of Q. acherdophylla has been little studied. [1]
