Yellow-green flowers appear in spring as the leaves emerge and result in acorns. The Pin Oak has bark that is smooth, grey-brown, and develops ridges with age as it grows to about 20 m tall and 15 m wide with a broad crown. Quercus palustris is widely planted in avenues or grown as a specimen in large gardens and parks with the added advantage of fantastic summer shade.
