Descripción
Species of oak native to northeastern United States and southeast Canada, but found north in Nova Scotia, south to Georgia, and west to the Great Lakes. It is used for timber but often cultivated as an ornamental; it grows rapidly into a round-headed, wide-spreading tree about 25 m (80 feet) in height, with leaves that turn red-orange in autumn and persist into winter.
