Timber trees and forests of North Carolina . f!E£-l?AL^^*^^?^-:<^ ^°*^L^Z*- -- ^.. of the TURKEY or FORK-LEAVED BLACK-JACK OAK(Quercus catesbaei, A/icAx.) jSf^ Known distribution of the TEXAS REDOAK (Quercus texana, Bud.). damp hillsides, associated with the yellow oak, swamp white oak,red and willow oaks, and elms. (Fig. 23.) Throughout North Carolina it reproduces itself slowly, and3^oung seedlings are rarely found in the forest, although it flowersregularly and matures fruit every two or three years. The small thin light green leaves, deeply lobed on the sides,are smooth on both surfaces, except for large tufts of brownishhairs beneath in the axils of the primary veins. The leaf-stem isnearly as long as the leaf. The oblong or cylindrous acorn isborne in a shallow cup, which like the acorn, is generally long acute sharply angled winter-buds are smooth, as arethe steel-gray twigs. The strong lateral roots lie near the surface. The wood, heavier and stronger than that of the northern redoak, is coarse-grained and porous, reddish-brown in color; the thicksapwood light brown. It is superior in working qualities to thatof the northern red oak or any other of the American red andblack oaks. In N
