Quercus hypoleucoides, though usually seen as a shrub, can be found to be a full-sized tree, 9 metres (30 feet) tall in areas where it receives sufficient water. [6] [7] The tree produces its flowers in the spring as most plants do. [8] It grows in warm regions and is used as an ornamental due to its unusual foliage. [9] Bark: Is dark gray in ...
Quercus sinuata is a deciduous tree up to 20 metres (67 feet) tall. Leaves are narrow, with shallow rounded lobes. It tends to grow in wet habitats, such as on river bluffs, river bottoms, and flatwoods, and generally over basic substrates, such as mafic rocks, shells, or calcareous sediment.
The Bigelow oak grows to a height of 12 metres (39 feet), with a diameter at breast height of 81 centimetres (32 inches) and gray flaking bark. [1] The leaves range from 3–8 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 3 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long by 2–4.5 cm wide, with shapes Duncan & Duncan describe as "narrowly obovate to oblanceolate or narrowly elliptic", with "broadly rounded and bristleless" tips.

The Mingo Oak was the tallest known white oak at over two hundred feet with a trunk height of 44.2 m (145 ft) before it was felled in 1938. [6] It is not unusual for the crown spread of a white oak tree to be as wide as it is tall, but specimens growing at high altitudes may only become small shrubs.
The bark resembles that of the white oak. The leaves are broad ovoid, 12–18 centimetres (4 + 3 ⁄ 4 –7 inches) long and 7–11 cm (2 + 3 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) broad, always more or less glaucous on the underside, and are shallowly lobed with five to seven lobes on each side, intermediate between the chestnut oak and the white oak.
