Quercus arkansana, the Arkansas oak, is a species of oak tree. It is native to the southeastern United States (eastern Texas, southern Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle). [3] It is threatened by use of its habitat for pine plantations, clearing of land, and diebacks that may be caused by drought.
It is fast-growing and usually has a pleasing red color in autumn, much more reliably so than the pin oak. This species was for years erroneously called Quercus nuttallii, but it is now known as Q. texana; this has created much confusion with Texas red oak, which was known as Q. texana but is now known as Q. buckleyi.

The current oak–hickory forest includes the former range of the oak–chestnut forest region, which encompassed the northeast portion of the current oak–hickory range. When the American chestnut population succumbed to invasive fungal blight in the early 20th century, those forests shifted to an oak and hickory dominated ecosystem.
