Quercus georgiana, the Georgia oak or Stone Mountain oak, is a rare deciduous oak. It is native to the southeastern United States, with a very restricted range in the southern Appalachian Mountains and outlying monadnocks, mainly in northern Georgia, but also very locally in portions of Alabama and South Carolina. It grows on dry granite and sandstone outcrops of mountain slopes at 50-500 m altitude. It is a small tree, often shrubby, growing to 8-15 m (25-50 feet) tall. |
