Shingle Oak (Quercus imbricaria) is a deciduous tree in the red oak group of oaks. It is native primarily to the Midwestern and Upper South regions of North America. It is a medium-sized tree growing to 20 m tall, with a trunk up to 1 m diameter (rarely 1.4 m). It is distinguished from most other oaks by its leaves, which are shaped like laurel leaves, 8-20 cm long and 1.5-7.5 cm broad with an entire margin; they are bright green above, paler and somewhat downy beneath. The fruit is an acorn, 9-18 mm long and wide with a shallow cup; they are mature about 18 months after pollination. | Shingle Oak (Quercus imbricaria) is a deciduous tree in the red oak group of oaks.
