Quercus emoryi is found in middle to upper elevation in the Gila National Forest. The leaves
are shiny and a brighter green than other oaks. Usually, Quercus emoryi is glabrate, with sparse stellate hairs mostly around the midvein and a tuft at the base of the leaf blade. The leaves are sometimes toothed. Quercus emoryi seems to prefer canyon bottoms where it can grow to large size.
