Quercus sapotifolia is a species of oak. It is native to southern and western Mexico (as far north as Michoacán) as well as Central America.[3][4][5][6] It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
Quercus sapotifolia ranges through the mountains and foothills of eastern and southern Mexico and through Central America as far as central Panama, between 250 and 2,000 meters elevation.[1]
It grows in cloud forests, pine-oak forests, open pine woodlands. It often grows on coarse soils derived from sandstones, rapidly-draining igneous rocks with high quartz content, and rhyolitic soils with high quartz and clay content. It can grow in disturbed areas, including areas subject to fires, where soils have been eroded or leached.[1]
