Species Info: Maple leaf oak is a rare species found only in Arkansas. There is some disagreement about whether it should be considered a separate species or a variety of Shumard oak. Maple leaf oak trees are only found in open, rocky woodlands at the tops of high-elevation ridges in four sites in Arkansas.
