600.
200 (a figure less than others apply to Mexico alone).
500-600.
Nearly 400.
275.
The higher the number, the greater the disparity and the more debate there is among taxonomists, the more I'm convinced my estimate for the number of oak species is correct: 1. With 200 to 600 varieties.
I have a good friend who know a lot more about oaks than I do who claims my number is ludicrously low. He puts the figure at 4.
Do read the links. Harness the power of the internet to learn all about oaks - this slow growing genus that does not do well in the cold! Grrrrrrr.
