Editing Quercus michauxii (section)

==Description==
The [[leaves]] of the swamp chestnut oak are simple (not compound), {{Convert|4-11|in|cm|abbr=off}} long and {{Convert|5-18|cm|abbr=on|order=flip|sigfig=1}} broad, with 15–20 lobe-like, rounded simple teeth on each side, similar to those of chestnut oak and [[chinkapin oak]] (''Quercus muehlenbergii''), although they generally do not achieve the more slender form that the leaves of those trees may exhibit at times. The leaves turn red in autumn. The [[fruit]] is an [[acorn]] {{Convert|2.5-3.5|cm|abbr=on|frac=2}} long and {{Convert|2-2.5|cm|abbr=on|frac=4}} broad, borne on a 2–3&nbsp;cm peduncle, maturing in the fall, about 6 months after pollination.<ref>{{eFloras|1|233501061|Quercus michauxii |first=Kevin C. |last=Nixon |volume=3}}</ref> The tree only bears heavy acorn crops at intervals of several years.<ref name="Kirkman, Brown, Leopold 2007 182–183" />
