Quercus Stellata F. Typica

Quercus stellata f. typica is a rare and distinctive variant of the post oak species native to the southeastern United States. This unique form is characterized by its small, star-shaped leaves and compact growth habit, making it a striking addition to botanical collections. While it shares many traits with its parent species, it exhibits subtle genetic differences that set it apart in both appearance and ecological niche. Due to its limited distribution and conservation status, it is of particular interest to botanists and conservationists. Studying this plant offers valuable insights into genetic diversity and adaptation in oak ecosystems.
