Pin Oak
Description
A red oak type, its leaves are glossy above, deeply five to seven lobed with bristle tips, and persistent through winter. Strongly pyramidal in youth, older trees have a distinctive shape, with lower branches drooping and often dying, middle branches horizontal, and upper branches upward spreading. A thin cap encloses one-fourth of the small, one-half inch acorn. A fast-growing tree under favorable conditions, it is not taprooted and will tolerate wet soils. Its natural habitat in Indiana is wet woods with poor drainage.
