Editor's Note
Some resources list the acorns and young leaves as poisonous.
The toxic principals are gallotannins, quercitrin, and quercitin.
Symptoms include stomach pain, constipation and later bloody diarrhea, excessive thirst and urination.
Acorns (nuts) are edible after tannins are leached or boiled out.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn people to look further for more information before eating.

They are also an extremely common landscape tree here in Southern California. They have smaller leaves than most oaks, with some slight sharp points. |
