Quercus stellata is often identified by its commonly cross-shaped leaf form, particularly in the eastern part of its range. All individuals and populations do not express this characteristic, however. Moreover, Q . stellata has broad overlap with Q . margaretta and even with some forms of the blackjack oak, Q . marilandica , one of its most common associates. The thick yellowish twigs with indument of stellate hairs and the dense harsh stellate hairs on the abaxial leaf surface are better diagnostic characteristics when variation includes leaf forms that are not obviously cruciform.
Native Americans used Quercus stellata medicinally for indigestion, chronic dysentery, mouth sores, chapped skin, hoarseness, and milky urine, as an antiseptic, and as a wash for fever and chills (D. E. Moerman 1986).
Putative hybrids are known with Quercus marilandica , Q . alba , and various other white oaks. Quercus stellata is also one of the few oaks that appears to produce hybrids with species in the live oak group, although obvious intermediates are rarely encountered. Nothospecies names based on putative hybrids involving Q . stellata include: Q . × stelloides E. J. Palmer (= Q . prinoides × Q . stellata ), Q . × mahloni E. J. Palmer (as Q . sinuata var. breviloba × Q . stellata ), Q . × pseudomargaretta Trelease (= Q . margaretta × Q . stellata ), Q . × sterretti Trelease (= Q . lyrata × Q . stellata ), Q . × macnabiana Sudworth (= Q . sinuata × Q . stellata ), Q . × guadalupensis Sargent (= Q . sinuata × Q . stellata ), Q . × fernowi Trelease (= Q . alba × Q . stellata ), and Q . × bernardensis W. Wolf (= Q . montana × Q . stellata ).

Brief Summary
(
Inglês
)
fornecido por EOL authors
Quercus stellata is an oak in the white oak group. It is a small tree, typically 10–15 m tall and 30–60 cm trunk diameter, though occasional specimens reach 30 m tall and 140 cm diameter. It is native to the eastern United States, from Connecticut in the northeast, to central Texas in the southwest. It is one of the most common oaks in the southern part of the eastern prairies, such as in the Cross Timbers. Quercus stellata is often identified by its commonly cross-shaped leaf form, particularly in the eastern part of its range. All individuals and populations do not express this characteristic, however. Moreover, Q . stellata has broad overlap with Q . margaretta and even with some forms of the blackjack oak, Q . marilandica, one of its most common associates. The thick yellowish twigs with indument of stellate hairs and the dense harsh stellate hairs on the abaxial leaf surface are better diagnostic characteristics when variation includes leaf forms that are not obviously cruciform.
Broad-scale Impacts of Fire
(

More info for the terms:
forest,
fuel,
surface firePost oak in a savanna is more likely to be killed by surface fires than
post oak in a forest because of the grass fuel load in the savanna. In a
March surface fire in a central Oklahoma savanna, most post oaks smaller
than 1.6 inches (4 cm) in d.b.h. were top-killed and some trees up to
3.5 inches (9 cm) in d.b.h. were top-killed or severely damaged. In the
adjacent post oak-blackjack oak forest, however, few woody stems larger
than 1 inch (2.5 cm) were top-killed [
24].
In a post oak-eastern redcedar community, post oak is likely to be
killed by fire because the eastern redcedar is highly flammable and
fires tend to be hot. In a severe fire in a post oak-eastern redcedar
community in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma, 92 percent of all trees
(post oak, blackjack oak, and eastern redcedar) greater than 3 inches
(7.6 cm) in d.b.h. were top-killed and only 13.5 percent of the post
oaks and blackjack oaks sprouted. In the adjacent post oak-blackjack
oak forest, only 66 percent of trees greater than 3 inches (7.6 cm) were
top-killed by the fire and 70 percent sprouted [
40].

More info for the term:
treePost oak is a long-lived, native, deciduous tree with a crown of
horizontal branches. The varieties are distinguished by leaf shape,
acorn size, growth form, and site preferences. The typical variety
usually grows 50 to 60 feet (15.2-18.3 m) in height and 12 to 24 inches
(30-61 cm) in d.b.h. It rarely exceeds 100 feet (30.5 m) in height and
48 inches (122 cm) in d.b.h. [
47]. In the drier areas of its range
(Texas), post oak is typically only 30 to 40 feet (9-12 m) tall and 15
to 18 inches (38-46 cm) in d.b.h. Post oak is slow growing and lives
300 to 400 years [
24,
47]. Seedlings have especially thick taproots.
Most roots develop above underlying clay horizons [
47].
Delta post oak is generally larger than the typical variety, growing to
about 100 feet (30 m) in height [
13,
46].

More info for the term:
treePost oak is widespread in the eastern and central United States from
southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, southern Connecticut, and
extreme southeastern New York; south to central Florida; and west to
southeastern Kansas, western Oklahoma, and central Texas. In the
Midwest, it grows as far north as southeastern Iowa, central Illinois,
and southern Indiana. It is an abundant tree in coastal plains and the
Piedmont and extends into the lower slopes of the Appalachian Mountains
[

Delta post oak occurs in bottomlands in eastern Texas and in the
Mississippi River valley in western Mississippi, southeastern Arkansas,
and Louisiana [

More info for the terms:
fire regime,

surface fire,
tree,
xericPost oak is moderately resistant to fire [
5]. It is less tolerant than
blackjack oak, about as tolerant as black oak [
5,
21], and slightly more
tolerant than southern red oak [
3]. The basal bark on mature trees is
medium thick, and stands of post oak are moderately open [
5]. Smaller
trees are easily killed by fire, but sprout vigorously from the root
collar [
55].
If fire is frequent in pine-oak-hickory associations, post oak is an
important constituent because fire provides an opportunity for invasion
by this more fire-resistant oak. If fire is infrequent or absent, post
oak also is absent [
28].
In xeric sandhill communities of post oak, blackjack oak, and bluejack
oak, grass and other fuels are rare and fires are only occasional. When
fires do reach these communities, some mature trees may be killed, but
they sprout and the community is maintained [
54].
In a study investigating the temperature of a surface fire as it moved
from the surrounding grasslands to the area beneath a single post oak,
the temperature increased sharply from the canopy edge to the midcanopy
position because the increase in fuel load was not accompanied by a
concomitant increase in fuel moisture percentage. The temperature then
decreased from the midcanopy to the base of the tree, despite continued
increase in fuel load and a slight decrease in fuel moisture. This
decline in temperature was presumably caused by the bole of the tree,
which stopped the leading edge of the fire [
16].
Under historic FIRE REGIMES, a savanna is maintained because after a hot
surface fire grass grows back faster than the woody sprouts. In the
absence of fire, the woody canopy spreads and the grass dies back. If
fire returns, post oaks are likely to survive because the reduction in
grass fuel results in a much cooler fire. In a fire in central
Oklahoma, all savanna litter burned whereas only 45 percent of the
litter in the adjacent forest burned [
24].

Fire Management Considerations

More info for the terms:
fire suppression,
forest,
fuel,
prescribed fire,
treeMany present-day post oak-blackjack oak stands were former savannas. In
the Wichita Forest Reserve in Oklahoma, the average age of stands
coincides with the advent of fire suppression in the reserve [
10].
Forests may not revert back to savannas with prescribed burning because
post oak-blackjack oak forests are resistant to effects of fire once the
canopy closes and the grass fuel load is reduced [
24]. Fire, in
conjunction with herbicides, may be effective at eliminating post oak
[
48].
Prescribed fires are used to maintain grasslands. Repeat summer fires
are effective at controlling woody species because they are hotter than
winter fires, and belowground carbohydrate reserves are lowest in the
summer [
18]. Post oak growing within a pine forest can also be
controlled with prescribed fire [
3,
53].
Equations for the estimation of fire-caused mortality have been
developed for post oak. In order to predict mortality, a manager needs
to know the tree d.b.h, the height of bark blackening, the width of bark
blackening 1 foot above the ground, and the season of fire. The
equations should only be applied to trees between 3 and 16 inches
(7.6-40.6 cm) in d.b.h. [
31].

More info for the terms:
mesic,
serpentine soilsPost oak occurs primarily on dry uplands with southerly or westerly
exposures [
47] but may occur on terraces of smaller streams in
well-drained soil [
23]. Post oak is common to about 2,950 feet (900 m)
in elevation throughout its range and rare to about 4,920 feet (1,500 m)
in the southern Appalachian Mountains [
13,
47].
The soils are usually shallow, well-drained, coarse-textured, and
deficient in nutrients and organic matter. It commonly grows in
serpentine soils [
56,
58]. Post oak is often restricted to sites where a
heavy clay subsurface layer is within 1 foot (0.3 m) of the surface or
bedrock is within 2 to 3 feet (0.6-0.9 m) of the surface [
25]. It may
grow in shallow sand overlying beds of clay or gravel, but the typical
variety of post oak appears to be restricted from deep sands [
35]. Post
oak grows on drier clayhills that formerly supported longleaf pine
(Pinus palustris) [
36].
Post oak occurs on sites too dry for white oak and southern red oak (Q.
falcata) [
38], but on slightly more mesic sites than blackjack oak [
11]
or eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) [
17]. Generally, excessive
soil moisture and inundation cause high mortality or severe stress to
post oak [
6]; however, it dominates some flatwoods in southern Indiana
that are moist in the winter [
9].
Delta post oak occurs in rich, moist bottomlands, usually on the highest
first bottom ridges and terraces. Soils are fine, sandy loam [
13,
47].
In addition to those species mentioned in Distribution and Occurrence,
less common overstory associates of post oak include hickories (Carya
spp.), southern red oak, scarlet oak, bluejack oak, live oak, shingle
oak (Q. imbricaria), chinkapin oak (Q. muehlenbergii), bluejack oak,
Shumard oak (Q. shumardii), blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), sourwood
(Oxydendrum arboreum), red maple (Acer rubrum), winged elm (Ulmus
alata), hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), and dogwood (Cornus spp.) [
47].
Overstory associates of Delta post oak include green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), white ash (F. americana), white oak, water oak,
blackgum, sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), American elm (Ulmus
americana), winged elm, American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana),
American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), black willow (Salix nigra),

root crownIf top-killed by fire, post oak up to 10 inches (25 cm) in d.b.h. sprout
vigorously from the root crown [
47].
Because of sprouting, fire tends to increase the number of understory
post oak stems. Eight annual winter fires in Tennessee resulted in
2,000 stems per acre (4,940/ha) compared to 1,220 stems per acre
(3,010/ha) in the unburned control [
49]. If the high fire frequency
continues, however, the stem density may decrease as root systems are
killed. In a study on the Santee Experimental Forest in South Carolina,
43 years of periodic winter and summer low-severity fires and annual
winter and summer low-severity fires reduced the number of hardwood
stems (including post oak) between 1 and 5 inches (2.6-12.5) in d.b.h.
However, the number of stems less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in d.b.h.
increased slightly under all treatments except annual summer fires.
Root systems were weakened and eventually killed by annual burning

treeSexual: Post oak is monoecious. Seed production begins when the tree
is about 25 years old. Good crops occur at 2- to 3-year intervals.
Post oak does not produce as many acorns as white oak, blackjack oak,
black oak (Quercus velutina), or scarlet oak (Q. coccinea) [
47].
Acorns germinate in autumn soon after falling. Germination is hypogeal.
The ideal seedbed is moist soil covered with 1 inch (2.5 cm) or more of
leaf litter. Height and diameter growth are slow; 10 year d.b.h. growth
generally averages less than 2 inches (5 cm). Post oak usually grows
more slowly than any associated trees except blackjack oak [
47].
Average annual height growth of seedlings in Missouri during a 6 year
period was 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) [
29].
Seedlings are resistant to drought but not to flooding [
47]. Post oak
seedlings were more drought tolerant than white oak, black oak, or
northern red oak (Q. rubra), primarily because of greater drought
tolerance of leaf and root cells [
57].
Vegetative: Trees up to 10 inches (25 cm) in d.b.h. sprout prolifically
from the root crown after being top-killed. Post oak tends to have
fewer sprouts per clump than black, chestnut, white, or scarlet oaks
[
47]. Post oak sprouts grow faster than seedlings [
29]. In the Cross
Timbers area of Oklahoma, post oak often occurs in small clusters of two
to six trees. These clusters may represent a single individual because
the species occasionally reproduces vegetatively from roots, especially
under moisture stress [

it is often overtopped by other species, including most oaks. It
persists and becomes dominant on poor sites because of its drought
resistance [
47]. Delta post oak is moderately intolerant of shade [
41].
Post oak is common in the understory of pine (Pinus spp.)-hardwood
forests. In the absence of fire, post oak may become dominant depending
on site conditions and competition from associated species [
19]. In an
upland longleaf pine forest in the west Gulf Coastal Plain, post oak,
along with blackjack oak, bluejack oak, and black hickory (Carya
texana), became codominant and eventually replaced longleaf pine [

Post oak will expand into adjacent prairies in the absence of fire [
47].
The post oak-blackjack oak association may be an edaphic climax on dry
sites [

Some of the most xeric sites of the South Carolina Piedmont are occupied
by old-growth communities of post oak, black oak, and Blue Ridge blueberry
(Vaccinium vacillans). Although the community appears to be in steady
state, it may evolve into a hickory-dominated community in the absence
of fire [

Lepidobalanus, or white oak group [
59].
The following varieties are recognized [
30]:
Quercus stellata var. paludosa Sarg., Delta post oak
Quercus stellata var. stellata, post oak
Identification of post oak is difficult because of its many growth
forms. At times, local populations have been given species or varietal
status. A rhizomatous dwarf post oak that grows near Lufkin, Texas, is
called Boynton post oak (Q. boyntonii). Drummond post oak, which grows
in deep sands of Texas, is thought to be a hybrid between post oak and
sand post oak (Q. margaretta) [
46]. It has also been considered a species (Q.
drummondii) by some authors [
13,
46].
Post oak hybridizes with the following species [
30]:
x Q. alba (white oak): Q. X fernowii Trel.
x Q. bicolor (swamp white oak): Q. X substellata Trel.
x Q. durandii (Durand oak): Q. X macnabiana Sudw.

Associated Forest Cover
(
Inglês
)
fornecido por Silvics of North America
In the Northern Forest Region, post oak is found in the forest
cover type White Pine-Chestnut Oak (Society of American Foresters
Type 51) (4). On dry ridges and upper slopes its other associates
are scarlet, white, and black oaks (Quercus coccinea, Q.
alba, and Q. uelutina), hickories (Carya spp.),
and pines (Pinus spp.).
In the Central Forest Region, post oak is most abundant in Post
Oak-Blackjack Oak (Type 40). It extends over a wide area from
eastern Kansas south to Texas and east to the Atlantic Coastal
Plain. On heavier, clay soils a post oak variant of this type is
found, and in the Texas "Cross Timbers" area and in
Oklahoma, a post oak savanna. Along with other oaks, post oak is
a common associate in several other cover types: Bear Oak (Type
43), Chestnut Oak (Type 44), White Oak-Black Oak-Northern Red Oak
(Type 52), White Oak (Type 53), Black Oak (Type 110), Pitch Pine
(Type 45), and Eastern Redcedar (Type 46).
In the Southern Forest Region, sand post oak is a chief hardwood
component of Sand Pine (Type 69). Sand post oak and post oak grow
on drier sites of Longleaf Pine (Type 70) and in Southern Scrub
Oak (Type 72). Post oak is a common associate in Longleaf
Pine-Slash Pine (Type 83), Shortleaf Pine (Type 75), Virginia
Pine (Type 79), Loblolly Pine (Type 81), and Loblolly
Pine-Shortleaf Pine (Type 80), and on better drained sites of
Slash Pine (Type 84). In the oak-pine types post oak is a common
associate in Shortleaf Pine-Oak (Type 76), Virginia Pine-Oak
(Type 78), and the Loblolly Pine-Hardwood (Type 82); sand oak is
an important component of Longleaf Pine-Scrub Oak (Type 71).
Delta post oak is found in Swamp Chestnut Oak-Cherrybark Oak (Type
91). In Mesquite (Type 68) of east central Texas, post oak
appears in mixture with mesquite (Prosopis spp.).
The most common hardwoods associated with typical post oak are
blackjack oak (Quercus marilandica), black oak, and the
hickories. Less common associates include southern red oak (Q.
falcata), white oak, scarlet oak, chestnut oak (Q.
prinus), shingle oak (Q. imbricaria), live oak
(Q. uirginiana), chinkapin oak (Q.
muehlenbergii), bluejack oak (Q. incana), Shumard oak
(Q. shumardii), blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica),
sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), red maple (Acer
rubrum), winged elm (Ulmus alata), hackberry (Celtis
occidentalis), chinkapin (Castanea spp.), and dogwood
(Cornus spp.). Coniferous associates are eastern redcedar
(Juniperus virginiana), shortleaf pine (Pinus
echinata), Virginia pine (P. virginiana), pitch pine
(P. rigida), loblolly pine (P. taeda), and
occasionally longleaf and slash pines (P. palustris and P
elliottii). At higher elevations eastern white pine (P.
strobus) and hemlock (Tsuga spp.) are
sometimes associates.
Delta post oak is commonly associated with cherrybark oak (Quercus
falcata var. pagodifolia), water oak (Q. nigra),
willow oak (Q. phellos), swamp chestnut oak (Q. michauxii),
white oak, sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), blackgum,
American elm (Ulmus americana), winged elm, white ash
(Fraxinus americana), hickories, and loblolly pine.
In the South, where post oak is a major component in many stands,
the following small trees are common associates: shining sumac
(Rhus copallina), smooth sumac (R. glabra), gum
bumelia (Bumelia lanuginosa), hawthorns (Crataegus
spp.), yaupon (Ilex vomitoria), possumhaw (J.
decidua), redbud (Cercis canadensis), and rusty
blackhaw (Viburnum rufidulum).

Damaging Agents
(
Inglês
)
fornecido por Silvics of North America
Post oak is susceptible to most insects,
diseases, and pollutants that present a threat to other oaks.
Regeneration efforts are hampered by acorns being destroyed by
weevils. Insect defoliators, leafrollers, tent caterpillars,
Gypsy moth, sawfly, leaf miners, and skeletonizers may cause
growth losses, and when repeated, may cause mortality (14). The
foliage also is susceptible to at tacks by aphids, lace bugs,
various scales, gall wasps, and mites. The trunk, twigs, and
roots may be damaged by carpenterworms, borers, beetles, twig
pruners, white grubs, and cicadas (locusts). Some of these cause
defects that render the wood unfit for many commercial purposes
(1).
Chestnut blight fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica) causes
many defects as well as mortality to post oak throughout its
range (8). The tree also is subject to oak wilt (Ceratocystis
fagacearum), a vascular disease prevalent mostly north of the
35th parallel, but not to the same degree as on red oaks.
Soil-inhabiting fungi may cause heavy seedling mortality by
damping off. Powdery mildews stunt and deform nursery seedlings.
Many fungi produce spots, blotches, blisters, and blights on the
foliage. They rarely cause real damage but are unsightly.
Decay fungi cause cankers, rots, and discoloration of the upper
and lower stem, as well as of the roots. The Texas root rot (Phymatotrichum
ormnivorum) attacks mainly oaks planted on old farm fields or
in subdivisions (14).
Several species of mistletoe are often found on branches and
trunks of post oak. Infected branches may be stunted and
eventually die. Trees usually are not killed.
Nonpoint source pollutants near large cities cause twigs of many
oaks to die back, or kill the trees. The specific diagnosis is
usually difficult. Sulfur dioxide, fluoride, ammonia, and some
herbicides have been identified as probable agents.

Flowering and Fruiting
(
Inglês
)
fornecido por Silvics of North America
Post oak is monoecious; staminate
and pistillate flowers are on the same tree in separate catkins
(aments). Flowers appear at the same time as the leaves.
Flowering usually begins in March in the South and extends
through May further north. Staminate flowers are borne in pendant
catkins 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in) long. The calyx is yellow,
pubescent, and five-lobed; the lobes are acute and laciniately
segmented, with four to six stamens and pubescent anthers.
Pistillate catkins are short-stalked or sessile and
inconspicuous; the scales of the involucre are broadly ovate and
hairy with red, short, enlarged stigmas (18).
The acorns mature in one growing season and drop soon after
ripening, from September through November. Late freezes after the
start of flowering and leafing may cause seed crop failures. The
acorns are sessile or short-stalked, borne solitary, in pairs, or
clustered; acorns are oval or ovoid-oblong, broad at the base, 13
to 19 mm (0.5 to 0.75 in) long, striate, set in a cup one-third
to one-half its length. The cup is bowl-shaped, pale, and often
pubescent within. Externally it is hoary-tomentose. The scales of
the cup are reddish brown, rounded or acute at the apex, and
closely appressed (18).

Growth and Yield

In the Southeast, mature post oaks are
from 15.2 to 18.3 m (50 to 60 ft) tall and from 30 to 61 cm (12
to 24 in) in d.b.h. Maximum height rarely exceeds 30 m (100 ft),
and diameters exceeding 122 cm (48 in) are uncommon. In the
extreme western part of its range, mature trees are seldom larger
than 9 to 12 in (30 to 40 ft) tall and 38 to 46 cm (15 to 18 in)
in d.b.h. Height and diameter growth for post oak are usually
slower than for any of the associated trees except blackjack oak
' Ten-year diameter growth generally averages less than 5 cm (2
in), and in central Oklahoma it may be only 13 mm (0.5 in).
Diameter growth of individual post oaks averaging 17 cm (6.7 in)
in d.b.h. was stimulated when most of the stand was removed to
favor forage production in Robertson County, TX (12). Post oak
stands were thinned from an average of 14.9 m²/ha (65 ft²
/acre) basal area to 8.9, 6.0, and 3.0 m²/ha (39, 26, and 13
ft² /acre). In the two ensuing growing seasons, average
annual diameter growth for the heaviest thinning was twice that
of the uncut check plots (3.6 mm. compared to 1.8 mm, excluding
bark, or 0.14 in compared to 0.07 in).
Average post oak stands in east Texas contain a volume of about
47.2 m³/ha (7.5 cords or 675 ft³/acre). In an Oklahoma
woodland, typical of the dry upland post oak type, post oaks 30
cm (12 in) in d.b.h. and larger made up 64 percent of the
sawtimber volume (Doyle rule) in a stand averaging nearly 28.0 m³/ha
(2,000 fbm/acre). The average post oak contained 0.4 m' (70 fbm).

to persist and become dominant because it is more drought
resistant than many of its associates (12).

Post oak seedlings have especially thick
taproots, usually exceeding the shoot diameter; but overall root
development is less than that of northern red (Quercus
rubra), scarlet, white, and blackjack oak (12). Although post
oak seedlings do become established on sites having a tight clay
subsoil, their growth is slow and most roots develop above the
underlying clay (3). Post oak seedlings were found to be the most
drought resistant of four Missouri oaks, primarily because of the
greater drought tolerance of their leaf and root cells (13). In
Alabama, post oak was the least tolerant of flooding of all
species tested (6).

Seed Production and Dissemination

In common with many
other oaks, post oak begins to bear acorns when it is about 25
years old. Good acorn crops are produced at 2- to 3-year
intervals; although at several locations in Missouri over a
6-year period, post oak consistently averaged only 200 seeds per
tree per year while white, blackjack, black, and scarlet oaks of
the same size on the same site bore from 500 to 2,400 acorns per
tree. Isolated trees in open fields in east Texas consistently
produced well. Elsewhere in Texas, trees less than 15 cm (6 in)
in d.b.h. had no acorns (12).
The number of post oak acorns per kilogram averages 838 (380/lb)
but may range from 441 to 1,340 (200 to 608/lb) (17).
In a sampling of post oak acorn yields from 736 trees for 18 years
(1950-67) in western Louisiana and eastern Texas, the average
number of fresh acorns per kilogram was 476 (216/lb) with 39
percent moisture content (5). Mast yield increased linearly with
increasing bole size. Expected acorn yield was 1.6 kg (3.6 lb)
from trees 30.5 cm (12 in) in d.b.h., and 3.6 kg (8.0 lb) from
trees 50.8 cm (20 in) in d.b.h. The percentage of acorn-producing
trees also increased with increasing d.b.h. from 42 percent on
15.2 cm (6 in) trees to 76 percent on 55.9 cm (22 in) trees.
Expected acorn yield rose from 0.9 kg (2 lb) on trees with a 3.0
ni (10 ft) crown diameter to 5.5 kg (12.1 lb) on trees with a 6.1
m (20 ft) crown diameter. Average acorn yield per tree over the
18-year observation period varied from a low 0.03 kg (0.07 lb) in
1962 to a high 4.4 kg (9.7 lb) in 1965.

Post oak grows on a variety of sites and soils. Its range
coincides mostly with that of the Utisols but also includes some
Alfisols in the western portion of its distribution. Typically,
it grows on dry sites. Rocky outcrops, ridges, and upper slopes
with southerly or westerly exposures are common.
Soils are generally well drained, sandy, coarse textured,
deficient in nutrients, and low in organic matter. The surface
soil is generally thin but post oak, and especially the scrubby
sand post oak, grows on deep sandy, gravelly soils.
Delta post oak grows in fine sandy loam soils on the highest
first-bottom ridges in terraces. There is seldom standing water,
but the site may be wet due to slow drainage.

Special Uses
(
Inglês

fornecido por Silvics of North America
Post oak is a valuable contributor to wildlife food and cover.
Acorns provide high energy food during fall and winter and are
considered important in the diet of wild turkey, white-tailed
deer, squirrels, and many other rodents. When acorns are
available animals fatten quickly, go through the winter in good
condition, and are most likely to produce healthy young (7).
Leaves are used for nest building by birds, squirrels, and
raccoons (11). Cavities provide nests and dens for various birds
and mammals.
Considered a beautiful shade tree for parks, post oak is often
used in urban forestry. It is also planted for soil stabilization
on dry, sloping, stony sites where few other trees will grow. It
develops an attractive crown with strong horizontal branches.
Large trees are difficult to transplant and do not tolerate
compaction or removal of soil in developments (19).
The wood of post oak, commercially called white oak, is classified
as moderately to very resistant to decay (16). It is used for
railroad ties, lathing, siding, planks, construction timbers,
mine timbers, trim molding, stair risers and treads, flooring
(its highest volume finished products), fenceposts, pulp, veneer,
particle boards, and fuel. The bark provides tannin, decorative
and protective mulch in landscaping, and fuel.
The tannin in oak leaves, buds, and acorns is toxic to cattle,
sheep, and goats. Oak poisoning is a problem in the Southwest
where annual livestock losses costing more than $10 million have
been estimated. Poisoning occurs more frequently in drought years
when other forage is in short supply. The most dangerous season
is during the sprouting of new foliage, a period of about 4 weeks
in March and April (9).

Vegetative Reproduction
(

fornecido por Silvics of North America
Post oaks up to 25 cm (10 in) in
d.b.h. sprout prolifically after being cut or burned. Along the
southwestern margins of its range, post oak spreads rapidly into
former grasslands after periodic prairie fires were stopped, and
much of this extension appears to be of sprout origin. In one
study in which potted seedlings were deprived of moisture until
the aboveground parts died, two to three times as many post oaks
sprouted after normal moisture was restored than did white,
blackjack, northern red, or scarlet oaks (12).
In a comparison of the sprouting habits of five oaks, post oak had
more one-stem clumps and fewer sprouts per clump on the average
than did black oak, chestnut oak, white oak, or scarlet oak. This
characteristic would be important in culture by coppice except
that post oak grows more slowly than the others.

Post oak (Quercus stellata), sometimes called iron oak, is
a medium-sized tree abundant throughout the Southeastern and
South Central United States where it forms pure stands in the
prairie transition area. This slow-growing oak typically occupies
rocky or sandy ridges and dry woodlands with a variety of soils
and is considered drought resistant. The wood is very durable in
contact with soil and used widely for fenceposts, hence, the

Quercus stellata
(
Catalão; Valenciano

fornecido por wikipedia CA
Quercus stellata és una espècie de roure que pertany a la família de les fagàcies i està dins de la secció dels roures blancs, del gènere Quercus.
Distribució
És una espècie nativa de l'est dels Estats Units, des de Massachusetts al nord-est, i passant per l'oest i sud d'Iowa, el sud-oest i el centre de Texas, fins al sud-est i nord de Florida. És un dels roures més comuns de la regió meridional de les praderies de l'est nord-americà.
Descripció
És un petit arbre, que fa entre 10 a 15 m d'alt i el tronc fa entre 30 a 60 cm de diàmetre, encara que ocasionalment poden trobar-se exemplars de 30 m d'alt i 1,4 m de diàmetre. Les fulles d'aquesta espècie tenen una forma molt distintiva, amb tres lòbuls perpendiculars terminals, molt semblants a una Creu de Malta. Les fulles són estireganyosos per l'anvers i tomentoses, cobertes de petits borrissols densos, pel revers. Les glans fan entre 1,5 i 2 cm de llarg i maduren a començaments de l'estiu.
Aquest arbre tendeix a ser més petit que la majoria dels membres del seu gènere, amb branques més baixes i disperses, que reflecteixen la seva tendència a créixer en llocs oberts de terres pobres. Així, la seva fusta es considera de valor relativament baix i s'usa com a llenya. Tanmateix, com en els altres roures blancs, la seva fusta és dura, densa i resistent a la podridura i per això també serveix per fer pals per a tanques; d'allà prové el seu nom vulgar.

Dub hvězdovitý
(
Checo
)
fornecido por wikipedia CZ
Dub hvězdovitý (Quercus stellata) je opadavý strom dorůstající výšky okolo 20 metrů. Pochází z jihovýchodu USA a v Česku je vzácně pěstován jako parková a sbírková dřevina. Je nápadný tvarem listů, které mají laloky ve tvaru kříže.
Popis
Dub hvězdovitý je opadavý strom dorůstající výšky 20, výjimečně až 30 metrů. Koruna je široce rozložitá, v horní části nepravidelně protáhle polokulovitá. Borka je šupinovitá, světle šedá. Letorosty jsou oranžové až červenohnědé, 3 až 5 mm tlusté, hustě hvězdovitě chlupaté. Koncové pupeny jsou červenohnědé, vejcovité, až 4 mm dlouhé, řídce chlupaté. Listy jsou obvejčité až úzce obvejčité, eliptické nebo trojúhelníkovité, tuhé, kožovité, s 4 až 15 cm dlouhou a 2 až 10 cm širokou čepelí, na bázi zaokrouhlené až srdčité, řidčeji klínovité, na vrcholu zaokrouhlené, na okraji mělce až hluboce laločnaté. Prostřední 2 laloky jsou největší a v nápadně pravém úhlu ke hlavní žilce. Žilnatina je tvořena 3 až 5 páry postranních žilek. Listy jsou na líci matné až lesklé, tmavě nebo nažloutle zelené, řídce hvězdovitě chlupaté a často na omak drsné, na rubu žlutavě zelené s nahloučenými žlutavými žláznatými chlupy a roztroušenými drobnými hvězdovitými chlupy. Řapíky jsou 3 až 15, výjimečně až 30 mm dlouhé. Žaludy jsou po 1 až 3, přisedlé nebo krátce stopkaté, světle hnědé, vejcovité až kulovité, 10 až 20 mm dlouhé a 8 až 12 mm široké, do 1/4 až 2/3 kryté hluboce miskovitou jemně šedavě chlupatou číškou.[2][3][4]
Rozšíření
Dub hvězdovitý se vyskytuje ve východních a jihovýchodních oblastech USA. Roste zejména v opadavých listnatých lesích na suchých stanovištích, na písčitých nebo jílovitých svazích a hřbetech, na prériích a ve vápencových horách v nadmořských výškách do 750 metrů.
Stromy zejména ve východní části areálu mají listy nápadně křížového tvaru, podle nichž je možné tento dub snadno identifikovat. V některých oblastech však vytváří přechodné formy morfologicky se překrývající s dubem marylandským (Quercus marilandica) a s dubem Quercus margaretta. V oblastech společného výskytu se kříží s jinými duby ze sekce Quercus, zejména s dubem marylandským (Quercus marilandica), dubem bílým (Q. alba), dubem lyrovitým (Q. lyrata), dubem křovitým (Q. prinoides) a s druhy Q. margaretta, Q. sinuata a Q. montana.[2]
Význam
Severoameričtí indiáni používali dub hvězdovitý podobně jako i jiné duby při ošetřování chronické úplavice, aftů, chrapotu, jako antiseptikum a na umývání při horečkách a nachlazení.[2] V Česku je dub hvězdovitý zřídka pěstován jako parková a sbírková dřevina. Je uváděn z Dendrologické zahrady v Průhonicích a ze sbírek Pražské botanické zahrady v Tróji.[5] Byl zaveden do Evropy v roce 1819.[4]

fornecido por wikipedia DE
Quercus stellata ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung der Eichen (Quercus) innerhalb der Familie der Buchengewächse (Fagaceae). Sie kommt in den östlichen bis zentralen USA vor. Englischsprachige Trivialnamen sind post oak, iron oak (selten auch Pfahl-Eiche genannt).
Beschreibung

die meisten Merkmale sind nur marginal oder gar nicht beschrieben
Hilf der Wikipedia, indem du sie
recherchierst und
Quercus stellata kann an den gerundeten kreuzartig geformten Blattspreiten und der haarigen Unterseite der Blätter erkannt werden.
Vegetative Merkmale
Quercus stellata ist ein relativ kleiner Baum, normalerweise mit Wuchshöhen von 10 bis 15 Metern und Stammdurchmessern von 30 bis 60 Zentimetern; einzelne Exemplare können auch 30 Meter hoch sein und erreichen einen Stammdurchmesser von 140 Zentimetern.
Die Laubblätter haben eine markante Form: drei senkrecht zueinander angeordnete Lappen, die einem Malteserkreuz sehr ähnlich sehen. Sie sind ledrig und unterseits dicht mit kurzen Haaren bedeckt. Das Verzweigungsmuster gibt den Bäumen oft ein zerzaustes Aussehen.
Generative Merkmale
Die Eicheln sind 1,5 bis 2 Zentimeter lang und reifen im ersten Sommer nach der Befruchtung.[2]
Ökologie
Aufgrund ihrer dicken Rinde kann Quercus stellata Waldbrände überleben. Für die Dendrochronologie ist sie sehr hilfreich. Eine Untersuchung an 36 Bäumen in Illinois erbrachte einen Datensatz von Jahresringen, der 226 Jahre umfasst und zeigt, dass Quercus stellata für über 100 Jahre eine Waldbrand-Häufigkeit von 1,44 Bränden pro Jahr überstehen kann.[3]

Naturliches Verbreitungsgebiet von
Quercus stellata
Vorkommen und Gefährdung
Quercus stellata kommt in den Vereinigten Staaten von Massachusetts im Nordosten bis nach Texas im Südwesten vor; im Südosten reicht das Verbreitungsgebiet bis nach Florida, im Nordwesten bis Iowa.[4]
Quercus stellata wächst typischerweise am Waldrand auf trockenen, sandigen, nährstoffarmen Böden.[4]
Quercus stellata ist ein langsam wachsende Baum, der auf trockenen, nährstoffarmen Böden vorkommt und widerstandsfähig gegen Fäule, Feuer und Trockenheit ist.
Quercus stellata ist in den östlichen und zentralen Vereinigten Staaten beheimatet; sie kommt in allen Bundesstaaten an der Küste von Massachusetts im Nordosten bis nach Texas im Südwesten vor und ist im Inland bis nach Nebraska anzutreffen.[5]
Von der IUCN wird Quercus stellata als „Least Concern“ = „nicht gefährdet“ eingestuft.[6]
Systematik
Die Erstveröffentlichung von Quercus stellata erfolgte 1787 durch Friedrich Adam Julius von Wangenheim in Beschreibung einiger Nordamericanischen Holz-und Buscharten, 78, Tafel 6, Figur 15.[7][8] Das Artepitheton stellata bedeutet „Stern“;[9] es wurde verwendet, weil die Trichome am Blattgrund sternförmig sind[2].
Mehrere Varietäten von Quercus stellata wurden durch den amerikanischen Botaniker Charles Sprague Sargent beschrieben. Als laut United States Forest Service 1990 häufigste Varietät galt Quercus stellata var. paludosa Sarg.[10] (englisch delta post oak), die wohl ein Synonym von Quercus similis Ashe ist. Nach Flora of North Amerika 1998 führt keine Subtaxa mehr auf.[2][8]
Synonyme für Quercus stellata Wangenh. sind: Quercus alba var. minor Marshall, Quercus minor (Marshall) Sarg., Quercus villosa Walter, Quercus lobulata Sol. ex Sm., Quercus obtusiloba Michx., Quercus fusca Raf., Quercus gonoloba Raf., Quercus heteroloba Raf., Quercus floridana Shuttlew. ex A.DC., Quercus stellata var. anomala Sarg., Quercus stellata var. floridana A.DC., Quercus stellata var. palmeri Sarg., Quercus stellata var. parviloba Sarg., Quercus stellata var. rufescens Sarg.[8]
Die Quercus stellata gehört zu den Weiß-Eichen (Sektion Quercus) aus der Gattung der Eichen (Quercus) innerhalb der Familie der Buchengewächse (Fagaceae).
Hybride
Zwischen den zahlreichen Weiß-Eichen-Arten kann es zu Naturhybriden kommen, so dass Hybride mit vielen verschiedenen Arten als Eltern entstehen können.
In der Flora of North America North of Mexico sind 1997 die in der Tabelle zusammengefassten Hybride aufgeführt.[2]
Ähnlichkeit mit Quercus alba
Sowohl Quercus stellata als auch die Amerikanische Weiß-Eiche (Quercus alba) sind der Sektion Quercus zugeordnet, die Arten als Weiß-Eichen zusammenfasst.[11] Innerhalb dieser Sektion wird Quercus stellata als Schwestertaxon von Quercus alba angesehen.[12] Quercus stellata wird als „Weiß-Eiche“ (englisch white oak) vermarktet. Ein Unterschied zwischen den beiden Arten besteht in der behaarten Unterseite der Blätter von Quercus stellata, wogegen die Unterseite bei Quercus alba beim Austrieb kahl ist.[4]
Nutzung
Wegen ihres Vorkommens an trockenen Standorten, ihrer attraktiven Baumkrone und der streng horizontalen Äste wird Quercus stellata im Grünraum von Siedlungen genutzt.[10]
Sie ist widerstandsfähig gegen Zersetzung, so dass sie als Bahnschwelle, Holzfassade, Beplankung, Bauholz, Tritt- und Setzstufe, Bodenbelag, Holzstoff, Furnier, Spanplatte, Treibstoff und Zaun (der englische Trivialname „post oak“ bezieht sich darauf) Verwendung findet. Sie findet auch in der Wildfütterung für Hirsche, Truthühner, Hörnchen und andere Nagetiere Verwendung, ist jedoch aufgrund des Tannin-Gehalts der Nussfrüchte für das Vieh giftig.[10]

Quercus stellata, the post oak or iron oak, is a North American species of oak in the white oak section. It is a slow-growing oak that lives in dry areas on the edges of fields, tops of ridges also grows in poor soils, and is resistant to rot, fire, and drought. Interbreeding occurs among white oaks, thus many hybrid species combinations occur.
The species is native to the eastern and central United States, and found along the east coast from Massachusetts to Florida, and as far inland as Nebraska.[3] It is identifiable by the rounded cross-like shape formed by the leaf lobes and hairy underside of the leaves.
Description
Post oak is a relatively small tree, typically 10–15 metres (33–49 feet) tall and trunk 30–60 centimetres (12–24 inches) in diameter, though occasional specimens reach 30 m (98 ft) tall and 140 cm (55 in) in diameter. The leaves have a very distinctive shape, with three perpendicular terminal lobes, shaped much like a Maltese cross. They are leathery, and tomentose (densely short-hairy) beneath. The branching pattern of this tree often gives it a rugged appearance. The acorns are 1.5–2 cm (5⁄8–3⁄4 in) long, and are mature in their first summer.[5]
Similar species
Both Quercus stellata and Q. alba are in a section of Quercus called the white oaks.[6] In the white oak section, Q. stellata is a sister taxon with Q. alba.[7] Q. stellata is sold and distributed as white oak. One identifiable difference between the two trees is that Q. stellata is 'hairy' on the underside of the leaf.[8]
Taxonomy
The specific epithet stellata is Latin for "star";[9] it is named this because the trichome hairs on the bottom of the leaves are stellate[5] or star-shaped. Several variants of Q. stellata were named by American botanist Charles Sprague Sargent. The variety most recognised by the United States Forest Service is Q. stellata var. paludosa Sarg (delta post oak).[10]
Varieties
Varieties include:[11]
- var. margarettiae (Ashe) Sarg.
- var. paludosa Sarg.
- var. boyntonii (Beadle) Sarg.
- var. anomala Sarg.
- var. attenuata Sarg.
- var. araniosa Sarg.
- var. palmeri Sarg.
- var. parviloba Sarg.
- var. rufescens Sarg.
Hybrids
Distribution and habitat
Q. stellata is found in the Southeastern United States both inland and along the coast, then in a narrow range along the coastal plain from Maryland to coastal Massachusetts, then westward to Texas, and inland to Iowa. In Texas, the Post Oak Savannah extends down to, and ends in, far northwestern Atascosa county where a fairly dense population exists. Normally found at the edge of a forest, it typically grows in dry, sandy areas, deficient of nutrients.[8]
Ecology
Q. stellata has the ability to survive fires by having thicker bark. It is useful for fire surveys where the tree rings are used to get a fire history of an area. A tree ring survey of 36 trees in Illinois provided a 226-year tree ring record that indicated that many Q. stellata persisted through annual fire return intervals of 1.44 fires/year for over 100 years.[12]
It is used for food for deer, turkeys, squirrels, and other rodents, but because the nuts contain tannin, it is toxic to cattle.[10]
Uses
Because of its ability to grow in dry sites, attractive crown, and strong horizontal branches, it is used in urban forestry. It is resistant to decay, so it is used for railroad ties, siding, planks, construction timbers, stair risers and treads, flooring, pulp, veneer, particle board, fuel, and its namesake fence posts.[10] It is one of the most common types of wood used for Central Texas barbecue.

Quercus stellata
(
Espanhol; Castelhano
)
fornecido por wikipedia ES
Quercus stellata Wangenh. roble de los postes, también llamado roble colorado o roble encino, es un árbol del género Quercus, al que pertenecen la mayoría de las especies denominadas "roble". Es originario de Norteamérica. Está clasificada en la Sección Quercus, que son los robles blancos de Europa, Asia y América del Norte. Tienen los estilos cortos; las bellotas maduran en 6 meses y tienen un sabor dulce y ligeramente amargo, el interior de la bellota tiene pelo. Las hojas carecen de una mayoría de cerdas en sus lóbulos, que suelen ser redondeados.
Descripción
Es un árbol pequeño, típicamente de 10 a 15 m de alto y tronco de 30 a 60 cm de diámetro, aunque ocasionalmente pueden encontrarse ejemplares de 30 m de alto y 1,4 m de diámetro.
Las hojas de esta especie tiene una forma muy distintiva, con tres lóbulos perpendiculares terminales, muy semejantes a una Cruz de Malta. Las hojas son correosas por el haz y tomentosas, cubiertas de pequeños vellos densos, por el envés. Las bellotas miden entre 1,5 y 2 cm de largo y maduran a principios del verano.
Este árbol tiende a ser más pequeño que la mayoría de los miembros de su género, con ramas más bajas y dispersas, que reflejan su tendencia a crecer en sitios abiertos de suelos pobres. Así, su madera se considera de valor relativamente bajo y se usa como leña. Sin embargo, como en otros robles blancos, su madera es dura, densa y resistente a la podredumbre y por eso también sirve para hacer postes para cercas; de allí proviene su nombre vulgar.
Distribución y hábitat
Es una especie nativa del este de Estados Unidos, desde Massachusetts en el noreste, y pasando por el oeste y sur de Iowa, el sudoeste y el centro de Texas, hasta el sudeste y norte de Florida. Es uno de los robles más comunes de la región meridional de las Praderas del este estadounidense.

Le chêne étoilé ou chêne à étoile (Quercus stellata) est un chêne du groupe des chênes blancs. C'est un petit arbre, mesurant généralement 10 à 15 m de hauteur avec un tronc de 30 à 60 cm de diamètre, pourtant certains spécimens atteignent 30 m de haut avec un diamètre de 140 cm. Il est originaire de l'est des États-Unis, dans le Massachusetts au nord-est, à l'ouest et dans le sud de l'Iowa, dans le sud-est jusqu'au centre du Texas, et du sud-est au nord-est de la Floride. C'est un des chênes les plus communs de la partie Sud des prairies de l'est dans les grandes plaines.
Les feuilles ont une forme très caractéristique, avec trois lobes terminaux perpendiculaires, profilé comme une croix de Malte. Elles sont coriaces, et le dessous est tomenteux. Le motif que forment les branches de cet arbre lui donne une allure rugueuse. Les glands mesurent 1,5 à 2 cm en longueur, et murissent durant leur premier été.
Son nom en anglais Post oak fait référence à l'utilisation de son bois pour les postes de défense. Son bois, comme celui des autres chênes blancs, est dure et résistant aux insectes xylophages et aux champignons. Cet arbre a tendance à être plus petit que les autres espèces du groupe, avec un ramage diffus, reflétant en grande partie sa tendance à croitre dans des milieux ouverts et pauvres, donc son bois est relativement peu prisé en tant que bois de coupe.
Le chêne étoilé se rencontre aussi dans le Sud de l'Ontario.

Zvaigžņu ozols (latīņu: Quercus stellata) ir daudzgadīgs dižskābaržu dzimtas koks. Šis ozols savvaļā aug ASV austrumdaļā. Izplatības areāls atrodas robežās starp Masačūsetsu, Aiovas dienviddaļu, Teksasas vidieni un Floridas ziemeļdaļu. Koks ir neliels, parasti 10–15 m garš. Dažreiz sasniedz pat 30 m augstumu. Lapas ādainas, apakšpusē ar sīkiem matiņiem. Lapām ir īpatna forma, līdzīga Maltas krustam. Zīles 1,5–2 cm garas, nogatavojas vienā sezonā.
Zvaigžņu ozolu koksne ir cieta, izturīga pret puvi, tomēr zāģmateriāli iznāk zemākas kvalitātes, jo šiem ozoliem zari veidojas zemu uz stumbra.
