Description: 15 BLACKJACK OAK (Quercus marilandica) ACORNS from Oklahoma All acorns have been float tested. The Blackjack oak is also commonly referred to as 'scrub oak,' in reference to its stunted and gnarled appearance. It typically grows in nutrient-poor and excessively drained soils, which stunt normal growth. It is a small to medium sized deciduous oak of the red oak group that typically grows to a compact 20-40’ tall. Leaves are distinctively wedge- or bell-shaped; alternate, simple, bristle-tipped, leathery, and shallowly 3-lobed. Upper surface is dark green and shiny; lower surface is yellow-brown or yellow-green, with tan to brown hairs. Several leaves persist in winter. Bark resembles alligator hide; blackish, very rough, with square or rectangular blocks. It produces acorns every other year. Jays, woodpeckers, turkey, mice, squirrels, raccoon, and deer eat the acorns. Innumerable organisms, from lichens to spiders, birds, snakes, squirrels, and raccoons, live in oak trees, in cracks in the bark, among the leaves, in the branches, or in hollow wood.
