Its acorn is large (about an inch long) and is nearly enclosed by its cup or receptacle--hence the name "overcup." Shade tree.

Moist wildflower garden. Makes a good mass planting on the edge of a pond or ditch.

Relatively small for an oak. Use as specimen tree or in a grove.

This is a rare plant.  Please acquire responsibly (don't steal from the wild). Not common in the nursery trade (we are aware of one North Florida nursery that sells it). Back up flower beds
