It's a spontaneous nothospecies found where Q. shumardii and Q. buckleyi are sympatric. It hadn't been named previously, so Luebbert honored me with it for helping him with his World Compendium of Oaks. Think of it as a diminutive version of Q. shumardii, with finer leaves, smaller acorns, smaller overall size, and fantastic, long-lasting fall color. It should make a great yard tree for places with limited space. I already had planted it in a prominant place here even before he named it, because of its rich color and nice form, so I was thrilled when he chose that one.
