This is the common post oak of the south Atlantic and Gulf states, 
where it grows usually on dry gravelly or sandy slopes and ridges, and is a small

habit and in its smaller leaves. It is a shrub usually only 1.5- 
2 m. high, spreading into thickets by stoloniferous shoots; the 
branchlets are glabrous or slightly pubescent when they first appear.
