Quercus fabrei (Faber's oak) is a species of deciduous oak tree found in China (Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, south Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Zhejiang provinces[3]) including Hong Kong (Tai Po and Northern districts[4]).
Faber's oak can take on the form of either a large shrub or a tree, with the latter form reaching up to 20 metres in height.[3] The tree has elongated leaves, with the tip of the leaf being wider than the base.[5] The leaves are serrated, although the teeth are smaller than those of more well-known oak species such as Quercus robur.[6]
