Status

One of the few tree species on the shale barrens of Allegany County and the serpentine barrens near Baltimore (Brown and Brown, 1972).Post Oak occurs on dry, sterile, upland clay and sandy soil, from Massachusetts south to Florida, west to Texas, and north to Iowa (Stein, et al., 2003).
Description
The central pair of lobes of the leaf are generally longer and much broader than the others, giving the leaf a cross-like shape.
