Nice looking tree but looks a little stessed in zone8+ during summer months. If you're in the deep south, Quercus Falcata or Quercus Shumardii would make a better choice.

This tree is deciduous and native to the central and eastern U.S. They are great to line streets as they hold their leaves through winter creating a nice look. Prefers acid soil.
Fine textured leaves are russet/brown/red in autumn.
6 vendors have this plant for sale.
