This deciduous tree goes by many names, including Savannah, Overcup, Prairie, Mossy-cup, and Blue Oak. It is a long-lived shade tree with a massive trunk and sprawling canopy, growing over 100 feet tall and wide in full sun to shade and in various soil conditions. It has thick, gray bark and deeply lobed, green leaves. The nuts have distinctive, coarse scales on the caps, and its tolerance to air pollution makes it a good urban tree.
