Quercus Imbricaria |
|
|
 |
The Quercus Imbricaria is commonly known
as the Shingle Oak. In the past, the wood was important for making
shingles, from which the name derives.
It is native primarily to the Midwestern
and Upper South regions of North America, from southern New York west to
southern Wisconsin and eastern Kansas, and south to central Alabama and
Arkansas.
The Shingle Oak is a medium-sized deciduous
tree growing to 65 feet tall, with a trunk up to 40 inches diameter (rarely
55 inches). It is distinguished from most other oaks by its leaves, which
are shaped like laurel leaves, 3 to 8 inches long and 0.5 to 3.0 inches
broad with an entire margin; they are bright green above, paler and somewhat
downy beneath.
The fruit of the Shingle Oak is an acorn,
1/3rd to 2/3rds of an inch long and wide with a shallow cup; they are mature
about 18 months after pollination. They are an important food for squirrels
and some birds.
