Quercus arkansana, commonly known as Arkansas Oak, is a deciduous tree native to bottomland forests, floodplains, and along streams in the Southeastern United States. It typically grows to a height of 15-40 feet (5-12 meters) and a width of up to 25 feet (8 meters). The Arkansas Oak has a rounded crown with a moderate growth rate and is not commonly found in cultivation. Its leaves are deeply lobed, turning yellow to russet in the fall, and it produces acorns that are valuable food sources for wildlife.

Arkansas Oak is not widely used in urban landscaping due to its rarity and specific habitat requirements. However, it can be a suitable choice for naturalized areas or restoration projects where conditions mimic its native wetland settings. It prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, and while it is adapted to wet conditions, it requires well-drained soils to prevent root rot. There are no widely known cultivars of this species, and it is generally free from serious pests and diseases, although it may be susceptible to oak wilt.CC BY-SA 4.0
