Discover the beauty and strength of the Quercus stellata, more commonly known as the Post Oak. This remarkable oak, part of the distinguished white oak group, presents modest dimensions typically stretching upwards to 10-50 ft in height with a trunk diameter between 1-1.5 ft. However, don't be deceived - certain exceptional specimens can skyrocket to a lofty 100 ft tall with a robust 4.5 ft diameter trunk! Mainly populating the southern segment of eastern prairies, the Post Oak holds a prominent presence, specifically in the legendary Cross Timbers. This native North American tree flourishes across the United States, stretching from the serene shores of Connecticut in the northeast across to southern Iowa, reaching down to central Texas and ascending up to northern Florida. Experience the magnificent Post Oak, one of the most common, yet undeniably extraordinary oaks in existence today.
