Chestnut Oak

Description
Chestnut oak is a white oak type most commonly found in the Appalacians on dry, rocky sites. In Indiana, its natural range is restricted to the south. The leaves are unlobed but have coarse, rounded teeth and are hairy below. A bowl-shaped cap encloses about one-third of the large acorn. Its acorns are sweet and are utilized by many species of wildlife.
