What is up with the Turkey Oak range? You look at all the other Oaks they pretty much grow from their northern extent all the to the gulf coast, but the Turkey Oak is just a belt thorough the Mid South, and not the Deep South.

Southerns please forgive me if you don't like my classification of the Southern geography...I do understand the definition of Yankee is anybody that lives North of you!
 
The question is why doesn't this grow in Southern GA, LA, AL etc....it is the only Oak in the list above to have a"belt" type range

I don't know but I suspect that since it is an overseas oak they have just used a plant hardiness zone to predict range.

Note the similar isolated dots of range with the map above or others.

That cerris map is too granular is be realistic.

Per the above, cerris should grow most anywhere. It is not a good wildlife tree, if I remember right. Bitter acorns, etc.
