Victor asked about oaks that don't reach the dimensions typical for canopy shade trees. Here's a few I'm familiar with that should be serviceable for the eastern US gardener. A little research should reveal whether these plants will perform well for others who don't reside in this region.
Quercus georgiana Georgia oak
Quercus glandulifera Korean oak
Quercus fusiformis Scrub live oak
Quercus marilandica Blackjack oak
As one might imagine, these are rarely offered in retail commerce. A bit of searching will find them online, and some field work may turn up free acorns at gardens/cemeteries/arboreta where diverse collections exist.
What are some other species of Quercus that folks are familiar with that might "fit" in more constrained landscapes?
