Quercus laevis (species) (Quercus (genus), Fagaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Species of small, slow-growing deciduous shrubby tree native to the dry, sandy areas of the southeastern United States, on the coastal plain from Delaware to Florida and Louisiana. It reaches 10 meters in height, has deeply incised leaves with 3-7 slender lobes, and acorns that take 18 months to mature. It hybridizes easily with southern red oak (Q. falcata), bluejack oak (Q. incana), laurel oak (Q. laurifolia), and water oak (Q. nigra). Its name "turkey oak" is derived either from the turkey-footprint shape of its leaves or from the fact that wild turkeys eat the acorns.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Kleine, langzaam groeiende bladverliezende heesterachtige boom die voorkomt op de droge, zanderige gebieden in het zuidoosten van de Verenigde Staten, op de kustvlakte van Delaware tot Florida en Louisiana. De boom kan 10 meter hoog worden en heeft diep ingesneden bladeren met drie tot zeven smalle lobben en eikels die in achttien maanden rijp worden. Deze soort vormt gemakkelijk kruisingen met Q. falcata (de sikkeleik), Q. incana, Q. laurifolia en Q. nigra. In het Engels noemt men de boom ���turkey oak' (���kalkoeneik') omdat de bladeren lijken op de pootafdruk van een kalkoen, of omdat wilde kalkoenen de eikels eten. |
