Description
A description of Quercus minima is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Q. minima responds negatively to soil disturbance by roller chopping in Northwest Florida sandhills.[1] It also responds negatively to chopping in South Florida saw palmetto-pinleand communities[2] and to to soil disturbance by disking, bedding, and planting slash pines in North Florida flatwoods.[3]
Quercus minima is frequent and abundant in the Xeric Flatwoods community type and is an indicator species for the North Florida Mesic Flatwoods community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[4]
Phenology
Q. minima has been observed to flower from March to May and in September with peak inflorescence in April.[5]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Quercus minima at Archbold Biological Station:[6]
Apidae: Apis mellifera
Colletidae: Colletes brimleyi
