Photo of Quercus muehlenbergii (chinkapin oak)
Quercus muehlenbergii - It is a medium sized deciduous oak of the white oak group that typically grows 40-60’ tall with an open globular crown. Insignificant monoecious yellowish-green flowers in separate male and female catkins appear in spring as the leaves emerge. Fruits are small oval acorns with scaly cups that extend to approximately 1/2 the acorn length. Narrow, oblong-lanceolate, shiny green leaves have coarse marginal teeth. Leaves somewhat resemble the leaves of chestnut whose nut is sometimes called a chinquapin. Also sometimes commonly called yellow chestnut oak. Fall color is variable, but usually undistinguished shades of yellow and brown. Family: Fagaceae
