The 'Mauri' cutlivar is a cross between Q. rubra and Q. coccinea or Q. palustris. It grows to a narrow pyramidal shape and attains a height of 20 - 25 m width at a breadth of 5 - 7 m. The grey bark remains smooth for a long time: older trunks develop dark grey bark plates. The young twigs are bare and glossy reddish-brown. The leaves are oval to obovate and are incised up a maximum of halfway. Usually with 6 to 8 rough lobes, triangular and sharply serrated. The leaves are 8 - 16 cm long and 10 - 15 cm wide. Depending on the amount of sun and the temperature the tree turns scarlet red in the autumn. The cylindrical flattened acorns are 1.5 – 2 cm in size and are one third enclosed in the cupule.
