Cultivation
Prefers warmer summers than are usually experienced in Britain, trees often grow poorly in this country and fail to properly ripen their wood resulting in frost damage overwinter[5]. Whereas trees in the wild can reach 5 metres or more in height, they rarely exceed 1.5 metres in Britain[8]. Plants produce suckers[8] and often form thickets[10]. The tree flowers on new growth produced in spring, the seed ripening in its first year[5][10]. Trees produce heavy crops every year or every other year in the wild[10]. Intolerant of root disturbance, trees should be planted in their permanent positions whilst young[8]. This species is often confused with Q. michauxii, Q. muehlenbergii and Q. prinus[5]. Hybridizes freely with other members of the genus[5].
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[5].Crops
