Quercus palustris - Pin Oak

Quercus palustris commonly called pin oak is a medium sized deciduous oak of the red oak group that typically grows 50-70’ tall with a broad pyramidal crown. Upper branches are ascending, middle branches are somewhat horizontal and lower branches are descending. In the wild, the lower branches of this tree are often shaded by other trees, eventually dying and breaking off leaving persistent pin-like stubs, hence the common name.  Type: Tree Native  Zone: 4 to 8 Height: 50.00 to 70.00 feet Spread: 40.00 to 60.00 feet Bloom Time: April Bloom Description: Yellowish-green Sun: Full sun Water: Medium to wet Maintenance: Medium Suggested Use: Shade Tree, Rain Garden Flower: Insignificant Leaf: Good Fall Fruit: Showy Tolerate: Wet Soil
