Quercus stellata
Post Oak
This long-lived and drought-tolerant tree produces a dense, round crown with strong spreading branches. The leaves are large, round lobed with mid lobes considerably wider than those at the top and base of each leaf. In fall, its leaves turn a golden brown. The acorns usually form in pairs with no stalk and are half covered by the cap.
