Quercus velutina
The Black Oak (Quercus velutina) is a large, deciduous tree native to eastern and central North America, commonly found in dry, sandy soils and upland forests. Growing 60-80 feet tall with a broad, rounded canopy, it features deeply lobed, dark green leaves that turn vibrant yellow, orange, or red in the fall. The Black Oak produces small acorns that provide food for wildlife. Known for its strong, dense wood, the Black Oak is used in construction, furniture, and cabinetry. It is a hardy and resilient tree, valued for its shade, aesthetic appeal, and ecological benefits in forests and landscapes.
