11 plants in database

Fagaceae in this database spans zones 4-10 with 11 species, so design it as a guild component instead of a monoculture block. Use its strongest role (Wildlife Attractor) intentionally and manage spacing for airflow because there are 10 recurring pests in this family. Anchor it in the Tree layer and pair with unrelated support species in other layers; if you save seed from multiple cultivars, isolate flowering plants to reduce accidental crosses within the family.
