The Quercus falcata, also known as the Southern Red Oak or Spanish Oak, is a medium to large-sized deciduous tree with a long, straight trunk and upward-reaching branches that form a high rounded crown. It can reach up to 130 ft tall, and its leaves are 4-12 inches long and dark green on top, with a rusty and hairy underside. The tree produces short acorns in a flat cup, and it can be found from southern New York to Texas. Although susceptible to fire, the Quercus falcata can sprout after one, making it a dominant species in pine and hardwood forests. Withstanding up to 150 years, the Southern Red Oak or Spanish Oak can become a towering beauty on any property or landscape.
