Description
A description of Quercus laurifolia is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Q. laurifolia has been found in longleaf pine-turkey oak sand ridges, sand pine scrub, salt marsh shorelines, sand dunes, areas with sandy-peaty soil, live oak groves, pond shorelines, pine flatwoods, and scrub oak.[1] It is also found in disturbed areas including disturbed oak pine Ilex woods, near boat landings, and along roadsides.[2][3][4]Associated species: Q. geminata, Q. chapmanii, Q. laevis, Pinus clausa, Ceratiola ericoides, Osmanthus, Q. virginiana, Q. nigra , and Q. myrtifolia.[1]
Phenology
Q. laurifolia has been observed to flower from March to May, and in August and September.[5]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by gravity.[6]
Pollination and use by animals
Quercus laurifolia has been observed at the Archbold Biological Station to host species such as Apis mellifera (family Apidae) and Colletes brimleyi (family Colletidae).[7] Additionally, this species has been observed to host species such as Alebra sp. (family Cicadellidae), Cedusa sp. (family Derbidae), members of the Flatidae family such as Metcalfa pruinosa and Ormenoides venusta, and members of the Membracidae family such as Archasia belfragei, Cyrtolobus fuliginosus, Cyrtolobus ovatus, Cyrtolobus tuberosus, Ophiderma definita, Ophiderma pubescens, and Smilia camelus.[8]
Bark was mixed with other oak species bark by the Choctaw to create dyes and paints.[9]
