Description
A description of Quercus elliottii is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Quercus elliotii has been found in pine flatwoods, longleaf pine-oak stands, longleaf pine-wiregrass, open pinelands, and upland pinelands.[1][2] It is also found in disturbed areas including along roadsides, frequently burned areas, and along fences. It responds negatively to soil disturbance by clearcutting and chopping in North Florida flatwoods forests.[3]
Associated species: Sabatia, Q. minima, and Cynontonum.[1]
Phenology
Quercus elliottii has been observed flowering from March to April.[4]
Fire ecology
Populations of Quercus elliottii have been known to persist through repeated annual burns.[5]
