Quercus virginiana is a majestic, long-lived evergreen tree characterized by its massive, low-branching limbs and a broad-spreading rounded crown. It typically reaches heights of 40 to 80 feet with a canopy that can span over 100 feet. The leathery, dark green leaves remain year-round, providing dense shade. Highly adaptable, it thrives in sandy, acidic, well-drained soils and tolerates salt spray and periodic flooding. It is widely used as a shade tree and provides vital food for wildlife.
