QUERCUS PALUSTRIS Pin Oak

Oakley, Wooster

Planted: 1942

Site: Lawn

1971 Comments: These large trees have the typical pyramidal pendulous character of the species, but do not interfere with traffic due to the setback from the sidewalk. The trees are alternated with Quercus rubra and create a very attractive setting for this street.

Pin Oak

1997 Comments: This was originally a mixed planting. There is no clue as to where the pin oaks were originally growing. Almost all of the plants appear to be Quercus rubra or red oak. Thus, we evaluated the red oak rather than the pin oak.

No data.
