I'm having to start learning about plants native to England - Quercus robur, the English oak, is a spectacularly shaped tree that is an iconic part of the English countryside.
It's a long lived tree, and boasts the 'highest biodiversity of insect herbivores of any British plant' (Wikipedia)
These large, spreading trees are also known as the pedunculate oak
I'm looking forward to learning more about the different galls produced by the various insects that depend on these beauties.
