Quercus Flatwoods

Quercus is the Latin generic name for "oak," the dominant trees on this area. An outstanding example of a flatwoods forest community with old post, black and black jack oaks on gently sloping, fragipan soils. The dominant post oaks are more than 200 years old. The fragipan layer in the soil restricts root penetration and tree growth.
