Quercus frutex is a shrub growing up to 2.5 metres (8 feet) tall (very rarely attaining tree stature at 7 meters in height), spreading by means of underground rhizomes and thus forming sizable clonal colonies. The bark is dark gray. The leaves are oblong, with no teeth or with a few shallow teeth.[2]
