Taxonomic Notes

Synonym: Quercus neoshei (Bush)

Variety: Quercus marilandica Muenchhausen var. ashei Sudw.; Quercus marilandica Muenchhausen var. marilandica

Description

Q. marilandica is a perennial shrub/tree of the Fagaceae family that is native to North America. [1]

Distribution

Q. marilandica is found throughout the eastern United States; as far north as New York and as far west as Texas. [1]

Ecology

Habitat

Common habitats include upland forests and woodlands. It prefers droughty soils of clay, deep sands, or sandstones. [2]

Q. marilandica has been known to have a high tolerance to drought but it is not tolerant of shade. [1] Q. marilandica has neither a significant positive or negative response to agricultural-based soil disturbance in South Carolina coastal plains communities.[3] When exposed to soil disturbance by military training in West Georgia, Q. marilandica responds negatively by way of absence.[4]

Phenology

Blooms typically occur during the mid spring and seeding in the fall. [1]

Fire ecology

Q. marilandica has a low tolerance for fire. [1]
