Re: Help...Turkey Oak??!!
Paula,
In your search for "Turkey Oak" Quercus cerris, a cultivated oak in
Britain, Don't get it confused with Quercus laevis, our native Turkey Oak,
common to sandy soils in the southeast coastal plain. This is the oak that
is found in the Long-leaf Pine and Turkey Oak hills plant communities in
Florida and up the east coast to Virginia. A great tree, but probably not
suitable for Minnesota. Some one may sell you the wrong tree if you are not
careful.
