Ecology
The Interior Live Oak is classified in the red oak section (Quercus sect. Lobatae). Several hybrids between Interior Live Oak and other red oak species have been documented. Hybrids with Coast Live Oak (Q. agrifolia) are known in many areas in coastal California. It also hybridizes with Nuttall's Scrub Oak (Q. dumosa) and California Black Oak (Q. kelloggii). All these oak species show evidence of introgression with one another. A common alliant tree is California Buckeye, Aesculus californica.
