Running Oak Tree
The rare Running Oak Tree grows as a native tree from Miami, Florida to northern Virginia and westward through the state of Mississippi, where it thrives along sandy beaches and poor soils to offer many small wildlife animals and game birds shelter and food from large clusters of acorns that form on the branches of the Running Oak Tree.

The small Running Oak shrub spreads by underground runners and grows about 3 ft. tall, and the leaves of the Running Oak Tree are shiny green with a simple oblong form growing on multiple trunk stems. This dwarf oak tree can be easily distinguished by its running nature where it grows in clumps 3 feet tall, and animals and birds love to make their homes in the Running Oak Tree. Acorns from Running Oak Trees feed wildlife animals well into winter months when other foods become scarce.
