Resumen

Quercus insignis M. Martens & Galeotti, better known as “chicalaba” in Mexico is a critically endangered oak species and it is characterized by producing the biggest acorns in the world. Despite of its ecological importance as a dominant component in cloud forests in Veracruz, Mexico, its habitat is facing high deforestation rates. In this review, we describe the chicalaba, its distribution, uses and some ecological aspects to promote its propagation and management including ecological restoration programs.
