scarlet oak

Red-leafed deciduous tree

Scarlet oak is a North American oak tree with deeply lobed leaves that turn brilliant scarlet in autumn.

The tree grows throughout the eastern United States, valued for its vibrant fall color and tolerance of poor soils.

Its acorns take two years to mature, like other red oaks.

The scarlet oaks along the ridge were aflame with color.
