Scarlet Oak

The Scarlet Oak is a deciduous tree that is native to the eastern United States. It is found in every state east of the Mississippi except Florida, Iowa, and Minnesota.

The Scarlet Oak prefers dry, sandy, and acidic soils and can grow to eighty feet in height. It gets its name from the deep red color its leaves turn in autumn. It is used as an ornamental tree because its wood is of an inferior quality not apprpriate for furniture.
