The oak tree also have landscape uses although mature trees can dominate smaller sites.

Oak Tree Acorns are the fruit of the oak tree referred to as nuts. Acorns contain tannins which makes eating them bitter, but are enjoyed by many forest animals, such as the squirrel, deer, mice. There are acorns from the White Oak and Chestnut Oak which are little sweeter but of marginal value.

This is most noticeable where the top leaves are long gone but oak leaves lower on the tree are still hanging on.

The term used to describe dead leaf retention is 'marcescence.' Oak and beech trees, as well as hornbeam, and witch hazel display this characteristic. The reason for this is not known but there are various theories.

Oak Tree Disease

Oak wilt is a fungal pathogen (Ceratocystis fagacearum) killing thousands of oak trees in North American forests and woodlands each year. Oak wilt is highly likely in all species of red oak, including the northern red oak (Quercus rubra), northern pin oak (Quercus ellipoidalis), and the Spanish oak (Quercus falcata). Fungal mats found on infected trees are transferred to the beetles bodies while feeding and then carried to healthy trees.

Oak will show growth lines and can be a factor when wood working or buying oak furniture, cabinets, flooring and installing wood trim.

If you like oak's hardness, but prefer a less grainy pattern, then one can consider using darker stains to blend out the oak wood grain.
