The leaves have a very distinctive shape, with three perpendicular terminal lobes, shaped much like a Maltese cross. They are leathery, and tomentose (densely short-hairy) beneath. The branching pattern of this tree often gives it a rugged appearance. The acorns are 1.5–2 cm (5 ⁄ 8 – 3 ⁄ 4 in) long, and are mature in their first summer. [4]
The leaves are elliptical or lance-shaped with 6–10 lobes along the margins and pointed tips, sometimes with lobes and teeth. [3]: 143 The leaves are up to 1 ⁄ 2 to 2 in (1.3 to 5.1 cm) long with dense hairs on both sides, becoming smooth with age. [3]: 143
The leaves are alternate, simple and tardily deciduous, remaining on the tree until mid-winter; they are 3–12 centimeters (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches) long and 2–6 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) broad, variable in shape, most commonly shaped like a spatula being broad and rounded at the top and narrow and wedged at the base.

Quercus rubra, the northern red oak, is an oak tree in the red oak group (Quercus section Lobatae). It is a native of North America, in the eastern and central United States and southeast and south-central Canada.
Quercus acutissima is closely related to the Turkey oak, classified with it in Quercus sect. Cerris, a section of the genus characterized by shoot buds surrounded by soft bristles, bristle-tipped leaf lobes, and acorns that mature in about 18 months. [3]
Leaf Base Shape: Semiamplexicaul – the leaf base wraps around the stem, but not completely. Leaf Blade Apex: Acuminate – narrowing to a point (a term used for other structures, too). Acute – with a sharp, rather abrupt ending-point. Acutifolius – with acute leaves. Attenuate – tapering gradually to a narrow end. Leaf Blade Margins:
The leathery leaves are alternate and are 2.5 to 10 cm (1 to 4 in) long and 1.2 to 6.5 cm (1 ⁄ 2 to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) wide. The shape varies between round, oval and lanceolate-oval. The leaf blade has five to seven sharp teeth on both edges and a pointed vegetation cone (apex).
