About

Quercus uxoris is an uncommon species of oak.

The tree is endemic to Mexico. It has been found in the states of Jalisco, Colima, Guerrero, Michoacán, and Oaxaca in southern Mexico.

Where it grows

Quercus uxoris is native to the mountains of southern Mexico, mostly in the Sierra Madre del Sur, with small outlier populations in the Chiapas Highlands and Sierra Madre de Chiapas of Chiapas in southeastern Mexico, and in the Sierra de Taxco and near Valle de Bravo in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt of central Mexico. It is found in the states of Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Although it has a large range, its distribution is highly discontinuous.
