Description: This native tree is found on very shallow soils that overlay limestone. Chinquapin has done well as a street tree because of its tolerance of high pH and drought resistance. It's leaves are unusual for a white oak in that they are not lobed and have serrated teeth along their margin. This tree is one of the faster growing oaks at 2-4 feet per year. However, when the tree grows 4 feet taller in one year, the next year it takes a time out and grows side branches. The small, very sweet acorn is highly sought after by wildlife. Bark and structure are very similar to White Oak.
