A black oak tree is a large deciduous tree known for its dark, deeply furrowed bark and deeply lobed, glossy green leaves that turn a deep red or brown in the fall. The tree produces small acorns that are typically surrounded by a fringed cap. Black oak trees can grow up to 60-80 feet tall and are commonly found in forests, woodlands, and open areas in eastern and central North America. They are hardy and adaptable trees that provide habitat and food for a variety of wildlife.
