oak tree
Squirrel's pantry source
An oak tree is a tree of the genus Quercus, known for hard wood, lobed leaves, and acorns.
The two-word form emphasizes the tree itself rather than the wood: We planted an oak tree in the backyard.
Oak alone often suffices, but oak tree clarifies when context might suggest the material: The table is oak versus The oak tree is dying.
