- Although similar to Red Oak, some differences are; the leaves have fewer lobes and deep V - shaped notches, the acorns have a slightly hairy cup. As well unlike the Red Oak, this species grows better in lighter soils but can adapt to a heavy soil condition. It's not a common oak species in Ontario
- Found in locally-abundant populations concentrated more south around Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and typically associated with remnant areas of tallgrass prairies
