Note: Distinguish the following two oak species from seedlings of similar tree species by the presence of fruit (flowers) on the shrub species. Tree species are generally not fertile until a height greater than 4 meters is attained. Also, the leaves and leafstalks of the shrub species are SCRUB OAK Quercus ilicifolia Leaves with bristle-tipped lobes, whitish- felted beneath, dark green above.
