Description

One of the most used oaks by landscape designers because of its high adaptability and handsome form and foliage, and a lot of other admirable qualities, the Pin Oak is a fast growing tree with a rate of up to 2 to 3 feet per year with a pyramidal crown that become more rounded at it matures up to 60 feet tall and 50 feet wide. Its gleaming dark green and deeply lobed leaves of summer turn a deep range of reds and russet red for over a month. Foliage is very dense casting deep shade, which makes it a superior shade tree. The 1/2″ oval acorns are a favorite of many ducks, white tail deer, songbirds, squirrels and other small animals. Like all Oaks, the bark is particularly attractive. Of special note are the tough little branchlets that cover the limbs. Farmers used these branchlets to pin together the beams of their barns, hence the name Pin Oak.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 60 to 70 feet tall and 30 to 40 feet wide, the Pin Oak is ideal for use around the home and in parks or other properties that can accommodate its size. An excellent shade tree around the home and for outdoor living areas and is nice in sunny landscape and woodland borders. A fine addition to wildlife gardens where the acorns are eaten by many songbirds, wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, squirrels and other small animals but are a particularly important food for many ducks.

Suggested Spacing: 50+ feet for space between trees

Growing Preferences

The Pin Oak is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained to wet soil and full to most sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
