Looking for a beautiful and hardy tree to add to your landscape? Look no further than Quercus ellipsoidalis, also known as the Hill's Oak, Jack Oak, or Northern Pin Oak. This North American native is primarily found in the Great Lakes region and the Upper Mississippi Valley, and is known for its tolerance of infertile sandy soils. It is a medium-sized deciduous tree with an open, rounded crown and glossy green leaves that turn bright red in the fall. The tree is often planted as an ornamental due to its striking appearance, but it also has practical uses – the wood is strong and sturdy, and is commonly used for fence posts, fuel, and construction. In addition, the Hill's Oak is well-adapted to fire, making it a resilient choice for areas prone to wildfires. Add beauty and function to your landscape with this hardy and striking tree.
