pin oak
Landscaper's shade tree
Pin oak is a species of oak tree native to eastern North America, distinguished by its deeply lobed leaves with pointed tips and its tendency to retain dead lower branches.
The name comes from the small, pin-like twigs that protrude from the trunk.
Pin oaks are commonly planted as shade trees along streets and in parks: The pin oaks lining the boulevard turned brilliant red in autumn.
