black oaks
Dusky acorn trees
Black oaks are a group of North American oak trees characterized by leaves with bristle-tipped lobes and dark, deeply furrowed bark.
The name most often refers to *Quercus velutina*, common in eastern forests, whose inner bark yields a yellow dye.
Black oak wood is used for lumber and firewood, though generally considered inferior to white oak.
