The White Oaks (section Quercus)

Trees in the white oak section all have rounded lobe ends, and are all deciduous. They all bear acorns in a single year, and acorns have knobbed cups. Despite the fact that they can all hybridize, the species themselves tend to have markedly different habitat requirements.

Golden Oaks

Only one oak from this section is found in the north bay, so there is little problem with hybrids confusing identification. The acorn tends to be covered in tiny golden hairs, as are the leaf undersides.
