Pin Oak

Pin Oak is a native tree of bottomlands and moist lowlands in the eastern United States, growing 60–80 feet tall with a distinctive pyramidal form and lower branches that droop toward the ground. The deeply lobed, bristle-tipped leaves turn a rich bronze to russet-red in fall and often persist through winter. Pin Oak produces abundant small acorns that are among the most important fall foods for wood ducks, mallards, and other waterfowl. It is widely planted as a street and landscape tree.
