Tolerant of poor conditions, grows fast and doesn’t get as large as some other oaks. The Laurel oak thrives in well drained soils and is tolerant of normal droughts that might occur within its natural range. The wood is coarse grained, heavy and hard, and not good for lumber. It makes good firewood. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
