		Oaks are hardwood trees, the wood commonly used in furniture and flooring.
		Oak Wilt, caused by the fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum (a fungus closely related to Dutch Elm Disease), is also a lethal disease of some oaks, particularly the red oaks (the white oaks can be infected but generally live longer).
		The oak is a common symbol of strength and endurance, and is the national tree of the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States.

	Species: Quercus laevis
		Turkey oak occurs in the Southeastern Coastal Plain from southeast Virginia to central Florida and west to southeast Louisiana [11,15].
		In Florida, turkey oak is common on the sandy uplands, and in Georgia and the Carolinas, it is common near the coast [12].
		Turkey oaks of an intermediate size [3.1 to 3.9 inches (8-10 cm) in d.b.h.] had the lowest survival after a spring fire in Florida because they were too small to be immune from crown mortality, but too large to be vigorous sprouters [29].

	Species:
		The national champion bluejack oak was reported from Texas; it measured 51 feet (15.5 m) in height, 7 feet (2.1 m) in circumference, and had a crown spread of 56 feet (17 m) [15].
		Bluejack oak is codominant with turkey oak or may be the sole dominant on some former longleaf pine sandhills; it has been suggested that bluejack oak is less tolerant of extremely xeric conditions or prefers more fertile soils than does turkey oak [28].
		The role of bluejack oak in these communities is determined by fire and soil moisture regime; where turkey oak and bluejack oak cooccur and where fire has been excluded for several decades, bluejack oak abundance declines more rapidly than that of turkey oak [28].

		Turkey oak is too small on average to be commercially important, but its hard wood is excellent fuel [11].
		Because of their palatability, digestibility, and seasonal abundance, acorns of turkey oak are a major food source for mammals and birds, including fl bear, white-tailed deer, fox squirrel, scrub jay, northern bobwhite, and wild turkey [11,16,32].
		Acorns of trees in the fl oak subgenus, such as turkey oak, are usually bitter and less palatable than those of the white acorn subgenus [32].
