It is a small [[tree]], typically 10–15 m tall and 30–60 cm trunk diameter, though occasional specimens reach 30 m tall and 140 cm diameter. It is native to the [[Eastern United States|eastern]] [[United States]], from [[Massachusetts]] in the northeast, west to southern [[Iowa]], southwest to central [[Texas]], and southeast to northern [[Florida]]. It is one of the most common oaks in the southern part of the eastern [[prairie]]s, such as in the [[Cross Timbers]].<br /> <br /> The [[leaf|leaves]] have a very distinctive shape, with three perpendicular terminal lobes, shaped much like a [[Maltese Cross (symbol)|Maltese Cross]]. They are leathery, and tomentose (densely short-hairy) beneath. The branching pattern of this tree often gives it a rugged appearance. The [[acorn]]s are 1.5–2 cm long, and are mature in their first summer.<br /> <br /> The name refers to the use of the wood of this tree for [[fence]] posts. Its [[wood]], like that of the other white oaks, is hard, tough and rot-resistant. This tree tends to be smaller than most other members of the group, with lower, more diffuse branching, largely reflecting its tendency to grow in the open on poor sites, so its wood is of relatively low value as sawn [[lumber]].<br /> <br /> ===External links===<br /> *[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&amp;taxon_id=233501087 Flora of North America: ''Quercus stellata'']<br /> *[http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/species/frame/qust.htm ''Quercus stellata'' images at bioimages.vanderbilt.edu]<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Oak, Post}}<br /> [[Category:Quercus]]<br /> [[Category:Trees of Southeastern United States]]<br /> [[Category:Trees of the Eastern United States]]<br /> [[Category:Trees of Florida]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of Alabama]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[es:Quercus stellata]]<br /> [[fr:Quercus stellata]]<br /> [[ru:Дуб звёздчатый]]</div> NetherlandishYankee
