Southern red oak

Description:

It is a medium sized deciduous tree reaching 25–30 m tall, rarely 35–38 m (forest grown specimens on highly productive sites), with a trunk up to 11⁄2 meters in diameter, the crown with a broad, round-topped head. The leaves are 10–30 cm long and 6–16 cm wide, with 3 to 5 sharply pointed, often curved, bristle-tipped lobes, the central lobe long and narrow; the small number of long, narrow lobes is diagnostic, readily distinguishing Southern red oak from other red oaks.

Habitat:

Wooded area near creek
