The leaves are 10–15 centimetres (4–6 inches) long and 6–8 cm broad, with 6–12 pairs of shallow lobes. The flowers are catkins; the fruit is an acorn 2.5 cm long and 2 cm broad, in a shallow cup.[2]

Landmark specimens
Grand old Algerian oak tree was planted on 19 May 1863. It resides within the Kyneton Botanical Gardens in the town of Kyneton in the Australian state of Victoria. This tree is listed by the National Trust on the Register of Significant Trees in Victoria. There are also two good specimens located in the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, one of which is believed to have been planted in 1920. There was another significant old Algerian oak tree in Victoria at the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens. It was known as Lady Loch's Oak; its trunk split in half in November 2007, due to the weight of its giant old limbs. The tree has been extensively planted in Canberra.
There are over a dozen mature trees in St Vincent Gardens, Albert Park, Victoria, some possibly dating back to the late 19th to early 20th century.

El roble andaluz[1] o quejigo andaluz (Quercus canariensis), es un árbol robusto, de hasta 30 m de altura cuando crece en buenas condiciones, con copa amplia y densa que proyecta una buena sombra, redondeada o irregular. Está clasificada en la Sección Mesobalanus, junto con el roble húngaro y sus parientes de Europa y Asia. Las hojas son simples, alternas y subpersistentes, pudiendo aguantar más de un ciclo estacional, por lo que la especie se clasifica como marcescente o caducifolia.[2] Tiene los estilos largos; las bellotas maduran en unos seis meses y tiene sabor amargo, el interior de la bellota tiene pelo. La sección Mesobalanus está estrechamente relacionada con la sección Quercus y, a veces, está incluida en el misma.[3][4][ru] Дуб канарский
