Description
A description of Quercus incana is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Quercus incana is restricted to native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia.[1] Q. incana responds positively to agricultural-based soil disturbance in South Carolina coastal plain communities. This marks it as an indicator species for post-agricultural woodland.[2]
Phenology
Q. incana has been observed flowering in March and April.[3]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by gravity. [4]
Conservation and management
Cultivation and restoration
