Zone 4-8

Native tree with fast growth to 75 feet in good soil. Fine textured leaves are deeply cut and assume a russet, brown or red autumn color. Leaves hang on longer than any other hardwood in the winter. The upper branches are upright, the middle branches are horizontal and the lower branches are pendulous, giving this tree a beautiful and graceful pyramidal outline. Acorns are good wildlife food. Makes an excellent specimen as a lawn tree. Pin oaks are particularly good trees to use for lining both sides of a drive or street, as they hold their leaves almost until spring, the branches and foliage create a natural canopy. Also good as a windbreak almost year round. Will tolerate wet soil but prefers moist, rich, acid well-drained soil.
