This oak grows mostly as a shrub than a tree. As a matter of fact I’ve only seen just a few growing high but I must say that were really wide.
Its acorns are ½-1 inch long. Cups are mostly bowl-shaped and they have this gold-hairy look. When you touch them they are kind of spongy.
Leaves are shiny above and waxy.
