Quercus imbricaria

Shingle Oak

The leaves of this oak do not have typical oak lobes, but instead are fairly long and narrow. The leaves are dark green and turn a gorgeous russet brown and yellow in fall. If a hard frost occurs while this oak is still green, it will hold its leaves in the winter. The bark is a gray-brown with broad, low ridges.
