Quercus turbinella is found in most areas at middle elevations. It is typically a
shrub and does not commonly grow to the size of a tree. The leaves are toothed on the margins.
Quercus turbinella intergrades with many other oak species, and there is a wide variety in degree
of dentation, presence of spines, size of the plant, color, etc.
