Northern Pin Oak, (Quercus ellipsoidal)

Picture
Pin oak has the fewest number of lobes of our pointy-toothed oaks. Oak flowers are often not noticed but this species blooms when the leaves are very small. The acorns are small, squat, with a tight cup. The bark is shiny and greyish-brown, only turning dull and ridged with age. Pin oak gets its name from the small dead branches that often project from the tree's winter silhouette like pins.

Height: 20 m
Form: irregularly rounded crown
Foliage: elliptic-oblong, Fall Colour: red
Flowers: not ornamentally important
Other: drought tolerant

​It is valued for its smaller stature, symmetrical shape and tolerance of urban conditions.
