Description
Quercus stellata
The Post Oak (Quercus stellata) is a medium to large deciduous tree native to the central and eastern United States, commonly found in dry, sandy soils and upland areas. Growing 40-60 feet tall with a broad, irregular canopy, the Post Oak features distinctive, cross-shaped leaves with a unique pattern of lobes. The leaves are dark green in summer, turning yellow or brown in the fall. The tree produces small acorns that are a valuable food source for wildlife. Known for its toughness and resistance to drought, the Post Oak is valued for its strong, durable wood, often used in construction, furniture, and barrel-making. Its adaptability and resilience make it a popular choice for landscaping in dry, challenging environments.
