water oak

Quercus nigra

The water oak is a tall tree that loves to grow near water. Its leaves are shaped like fingers, and in the fall, they turn beautiful colors before falling off.

生息地: Wetlands

外見

The water oak has distinctive spatula-shaped or diamond-like green leaves that often shimmer in the sunlight. Its bark starts smooth and dark, gradually developing furrows with age. Unlike many oaks, it often holds onto some leaves through winter, giving it a semi-evergreen appearance.
