Other Species
It is often known simply as scrub oak, though this name is also applied to other Quercus species, especially several which were formerly grouped under the single name Q. dumosa and are found in scrubby habitats. Many other scrub-type oaks can be found in the region, and careful inspection is required to identify individuals of Q. berberidifolia and its hybrids.
Q. berberidifolia sometimes hybridizes with other species.
