∙ 14y agoQuick answer: the genus of Oak is Quercus. Needlessly longer answer: There are many species in the genus "Quercus" such as Quercus agrifolia (Coast Live Oak) or Quercus palustris (Pin Oak). There are some species unrelated to Quercus which go by the common name of Oak . . . such as Silk Oak which is Grevillea robusta. True oaks have acorns. (Silk Oaks don't have acorns). Tan oaks (Lithocarpus densiflorus) are closely related to Quercus, as they have an acorn like seed, but are different enough that they were put in a different genus.
