Pin Oak

The acorn cap just covers the top of the acorn.

I got some photos of Pin oak the other day. Notice the acorns have pin stripes down the side.  The bark is unusually smooth for a mature tree. The lobes are extra wide and the leave lobes are thin.

Pin Oak Parkway

Riding my bicycle on a Sunday afternoon I decided to stop to enjoy this parkway and see if I could get a photo. I kneeled down to get under the branches and was able to get this shot.


Luke 11:10
"For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, to will be opened."

The Pin oak leaf has narrow lobes.


Here you can see that Pin oaks have smooth bark.

They are planted a lot as ornamentals.
