It's acorns take 2 year to develop before falling from the tree. • The trees range is south eastern Canada and the eastern United States. As of late, there are more red oaks in the forests, whereas white oaks used to be more prevallent until the age of timber harvesting came along. • This species gets its name from the reddish colour of the heartwood. the grain pattern and durability of red oak makes it a popular species for hardwood flooring. • Leaves have several lobes which have three sharp points on each end. • Trees are susceptible to oak which, which is a fungus spread by the picnic beetle and can spread from tree to tree via roots coming into contact with each other. • Red oak is a very popular species of firewood due to its longevity of burn time, minimal residual ash and high temperatures.
