Sessile oak appears as a majestic deciduous tree characterized by its broad and rounded crown. This species typically produces acorns directly from its stems in clusters, which are notable for lacking stalks. The leaves exhibit a deep green hue, contributing to its dense canopy. It thrives in a variety of soil conditions, from moist, fertile, and well-drained to poorer, drier types, and can adapt across a pH spectrum from acidic to alkaline. Sessile oak's bark is rugged, providing a textured appearance along its sturdy trunk.
