Chinquapin Oak (Quercus muehlenbergii)
These trees are native to the hills of Appalachia, from Pennsylvania through the south and midwest. They grow on rocky hillsides and where other oaks struggle to thrive. The leaves are broad with rounded edges. In the white oak family. Chinquapin oak leaves are similar to Chestnut oak and both trees are found in similar habitats. The trees are smaller than many other oaks and are rarely found in urban areas. A great choice for wildlife support and rewilding projects.
