Description General: Beech Family (Fagaceae). Native trees growning to 25 m tall, with a broad, rounded crown, sometimes shrubby; branches and branchlets with corky-winged projections; bark light gray, thick, rough, furrowed into scaly plates and vertical flattened ridges. Leaves deciduous, alternate, obovate, shaped like a fiddle, tapering to a wedgeshaped base, 10ñ25 cm long and 6ñ12 cm wide, widest above the middle, with 2ñ3 rounded lobes on upper half of leaf and 5ñ7 deeper lobes on lower half of leaf, dark green above, gray-green below, turning yellow or brown in fall. Male and female flowers are borne in separate catkins on the same tree (the species monoecious) on the current year’s branchlets. Acorns maturing in the first year, 2.5ñ5 cm long and wide, with a deep, thick, fringed cup covering 1/2 to 3/4 of the acorn, the scales knobby, long-pointed with narrow free tips. The common name (bur) is in reference to the cap-covered acorn. Offers dense shade. Tolerates pollution and heat stress. Features alternating leaves that are 6–12″ long with 5–9 lobes separated about halfway down by a pair of particularly deep sinuses. Yields acorns that are larger than most others, with a conspicuously fringed cap that extends about halfway down the nut. Lives for more than 200–300 years. Is also known as the mossycup oak. Grows in a rounded shape.
