One-third natural size. the Scarlet Oak, yet not so stout as those of the Red. The head is narrow and roundish. The bark on young stems is smooth and dark gray or brown. On old trunks it is dark, almost black, and is deeply divided into broad, rounded ridges. In this last respect it differs from the Red Oak, the bark of which has flat ridges and is never quite so rough. The winter buds are large, strongly angled and covered with a matted, woolly growth. The leaves are very variable, sometimes resembling those of the Scarlet and sometimes those of the Red Oak. They are simple, alternate, egg-shaped or ob- 43.
