Quercus includes trees or shrubs that can be either deciduous or evergreen. The leaves may be entire, lobed, or toothed. Flowers are not prominent, but they are succeeded by distinctive acorns. Some species may display notable autumn foliage.

Quercus graciliformis

Quercus grahamii is a rapidly growing semi-evergreen or deciduous tree that can reach heights of up to 25 meters. Its leaves are slender with distinctively pointed lobes. They initially appear in a copper-red hue, transitioning to green as they mature. These leaves persist through much of the winter, eventually turning yellow and dropping off just before the new foliage emerges.

Quercus gravesii

Quercus greggii

Quercus griffithii is a sizable deciduous tree, reaching heights of up to 25 meters. In spring, its glossy leaves appear in a copper-red hue, maturing to green as the season progresses. The leaves are distinctly toothed along the margins and transition to a yellow-brown shade in autumn prior to their drop.

Quercus ilex is a sizable evergreen tree characterized by its dark, finely fissured bark and a broad, rounded canopy. The leaves are dark green and ovate with a glossy surface, while the underside is pale. Young foliage appears whitish, and the tree produces yellow catkins.

Quercus ilicifolia

Quercus imbricaria is a deciduous tree that can reach heights of 20 meters. Initially, it has a pyramidal shape, but as it matures, it forms a wide, rounded canopy. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and range from oblong to lance-shaped, measuring up to 18 centimeters in length. These leaves have smooth edges and a bristle tip, transitioning to yellow-brown or reddish-brown during the autumn months. The tree produces solitary acorns that are nearly spherical, nestled within scaly caps.

Quercus infectoria

Quercus infectoria subsp. veneris is a semi-evergreen tree that can reach heights of approximately 16 meters. Its foliage consists of oblong to elliptic leaves, measuring up to 12 centimeters in length, which may have toothed or occasionally wavy margins, and are attached to petioles that can extend to 2.5 centimeters. The tree produces inconspicuous flowers in spring, which may give way to elongated, pointed acorns.

Quercus laurifolia is a semi-evergreen to deciduous tree characterized by its spreading form and rounded crown, along with its deeply ridged bark. The leaves are glossy, oblong to ovate, reaching lengths of up to 10 cm, and are typically entire, although some may exhibit a shallow three-lobed shape. In milder regions, the foliage can persist into winter, sometimes displaying a bronze hue in its youth. The acorns are rounded and grow in shallow cups.
