Pin oak
Quercus palustris
Pin oak is a stately, fast-growing deciduous tree prized for its pyramidal form, deeply lobed leaves, and brilliant scarlet autumn colour. It prefers full sun and moist, acidic, well-drained soil — avoid alkaline soils, which cause chlorosis. Once established it requires minimal care, though young trees benefit from regular deep watering during dry spells.
