Narrative
Per Peter Zale, these are seedlings of the only known direct wild-collected Q. castaneifolia under cultivation in the U.S. at this time, from their accession 1957-2444*A, collected in the wild near Gorgan, Iran in 1955 by USDA agricultural explorer H. S. Gentry. There is a good possibility of hybridity with open-pollinated oak seedlings, so their species identity should be reviewed when they become more mature.
