The natural distribution of Brant’s Oak includes Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. In Lebanon, however, the tree is found only in the Shouf Reserve, and as scattered individual trees in Barouk, Maaser and Kefraya. The tree is deciduous. It produces large acorns and its leaves are much darker than those of other species. Brant’s Oak trees tend to have multiple trunks.Planting the acorns of Brant’s Oak follows the same process as for all Oak species. Collect acorns early in the season to avoid infestations by insects. The acorns can be collected as soon as their color starts turning from green to brown and they separate easily from their cap. Acorns do not store well and should be planted within two weeks after they have been collected. Plant the acorns in relatively large pots to make room for the large acorns. Seedlings can reach up to half a meter growing in small pots. Seedlings that are grown for reforestation purposes should not be fertilized heavily, otherwise the shoots will grow too much and the seedlings will not be able to withstand the stress of drought and heat when planted in the field. It is best to plant acorns directly in the field by loosening the soil with a metal rod to a depth of 30 centimeters then planting the seed at a depth equal to its size.
