This large tree also goes by the names of Possum Oak, Punk Oak, and Spotted Oak. Growing up to 100 feet tall, it has thick, leathery, dark-green leaves that are semi-evergreen in the warmer parts of its range. Its foliage turns yellow in fall and provides cover, nesting sites, and food in the form of catkins and nuts to birds, mammals, and butterflies. Though fast-growing, Water Oak is short-lived, growing best in partial shade and in deep, moist, poorly drained soils.
