Abstract
Black oak is a common and widely distributed oak that is part of the red oak group. It is a medium-sized tree that can grow up to 80 feet in height. Like many red oaks it is suitable for timber products and its fruit, the acorn, is a valuable wildlife food. Black oak can be found on a wide variety of sites, including those with moist and well drained soils but is most often found on medium to poor soils associated with a south or west facing aspect.
