Description
Quercus palustris
The Pin Oak (Quercus palustris) is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to North America, typically found in wet, lowland areas, and along streams and floodplains. Growing 60-70 feet tall with a narrow, pyramidal shape, the Pin Oak features deeply lobed, dark green leaves that turn brilliant red and bronze in the fall. Its small acorns are an important food source for wildlife. Known for its fast growth and adaptability to wet soils, the Pin Oak is commonly used in urban landscaping, parks, and street plantings due to its attractive form and vibrant autumn color. Its wood is valued for its strength, though it is less commonly used than other oak species.
