Description
Pin Oak is a stunning, fast-growing shade tree known for its strong central trunk, deeply lobed leaves, and distinctive branching structure. Its rich green foliage provides a magnificent canopy in summer, transforming into a spectacular display of deep red to russet tones in fall. With its tidy, pyramidal form when young, maturing into a more open, spreading shape, this oak brings elegance and structure to any landscape. The small, rounded acorns add seasonal interest, making it a standout choice for parks, streetscapes, and large open spaces.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Once established, rarely needs supplemental watering except in prolonged drought
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and maintain a strong structure
With its grand fall color, polished branching pattern, and impressive size, Pin Oak is one of the finest shade trees for adding seasonal interest and long-lasting beauty to the landscape.
