Post oak, Quercus stellata is an oak in the white oak group. It is a small tree, typically 10-15m tall and 30-60cm trunk diameter, though occasional specimens reach 30m tall and 140cm diameter. It is native to the eastern United States, from Massachusetts in the northeast, west to southern Iowa, southwest to central Texas, and southeast to northern Florida.
