Quercus palustris
Pin Oak
These strongly pyramidal trees have pendulous lower branches and glossy, dark-green leaves. In the fall, the leaves turn to bronze or red. During the winter, like many oaks, the tree will hold many dried brown leaves. The Pin Oak's light brown acorns provide food for many animals.
