Durmast / Sessile oak (Quercus petraea)

Quercus petraea, commonly known as the sessile oak or durmast oak, is a species of oak tree native to most of Europe and into Anatolia and Iran.

The sessile oak is a large deciduous tree up to 20–40 m (66–131 ft) tall, in the white oak section of the genus (Quercus sect. Quercus) and similar to the pedunculate oak, Q. robur, with which it overlaps extensively in range. The leaves are 7–14 cm (2.8–5.5 in) long and 4–8 cm (1.6–3.1 in) broad, evenly lobed with five to six lobes on each side, and a 1-centimetre-long (0.39 in) petiole. The flowers are catkins, produced in the spring. The fruit is an acorn 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) long and 1–2 cm (0.39–0.79 in) broad, which matures in about six months.

In cultivation, this tree has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The wood is important, used for construction purposes (particularly timber framing), shipbuilding, and oak barrels for wine.
