(redirected from blackjacks)Blackjack oak can also re-sprout or rootsprout many times after being burned or browsed back, an adaptation to growth in ecosystems where there is frequent fire (barrens, savannas, sand forests, prairies). Identifying Features Bark Blackjack oak is in the red oak group. The bark is dark brown with shallow ridges or squarish blocks. Quercus marilandica, the blackjack oak, is a small oak, one of the red oak group Quercus sect. It is native to the eastern and central United States, from Long Island to Florida, west as far as Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. There are reports of a few isolated populations in southern Michigan, but these appear to represent introductions. I've used Blackjack for grilling for many years since it's considered a scrub oak and readily available here in NE Florida. I recently started using it as a smoking wood in my new Land 60D. The several briskets, pork butts, and chickens have turned out great. FWIW I leave the bark on. It burns just fine. The blackjack oak’s bark is cracked into rectangular-like plates. The green leaves are shaped like eight-inch long dinosaur feet. Those leaves flare out, almost as if each cluster of leaves is like a shamrock growing on branches. Every other year, the tree produces brown, striped acorns, and a slew of animals show up to harvest the nuts. Common Uses: Cabinetry, furniture, interior trim, flooring, and veneer. Comments: Not to be confused with Bog Oak (which is actually black in color), Black Oak falls into the red oak group, and shares many of the same traits as Red Oak (Quercus rubra). Red Oak, along with its brother White Oak, are commonly used domestic lumber species.
