Quercus palustris
Common Name: Pin Oak
Pin oak (Quercus palustris) has a relatively slender, pyramidal outline and pointed leaf lobes. Its branching pattern gives young trees a formal appearance, while acidic soil is important for healthy leaf color.
Its structure combines an oval crown and a tapered crown. Growth is fast. The leaves are shed for winter. Autumn foliage can bring brown, orange and red tones.
Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide acidic, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
