BLACK OAK. YELLOW-BARK OAK. QUERCITRON OAK. YELLOW OAK. 



Southern Maine to northern Vermont, Ontario, southern Minnesota, eastern Nebraska, eastern Kansas, and 

 the Indian territory, south to the Ohattahoochee region of western Florida, southern Alabama and Mississippi, and 

 eastern Texas. 



A large tree, 24 to 36 or, exceptionally, 48 meters (Eidgway) in height, with a trunk 0.90 to 1.80 meter in 

 diameter; generally on dry or gravelly uplands; very common. 



Wood heavy, hard, strong, not tough, coarse-grained, liable to check in drying; layers of annual growth 

 ma'-k';-'l i-y -cvcral rows of very large open ducts; color, bright brown tinged with red, the sap-wood much 

 lighter: specific gravity, 0.7045; ash, 0.28; somewhat used for cooperage, construction, etc. 



The bark largely used in tanning; the intensely bitter inner bark yields a valuable yellow dye, and is 

 occasionally used medicinally in the form of decoctions, etc., in the treatment of hemorrhage (U. S. Dispensatory, 

 14 ed. 750. JVai 1 . Dispensatory, 2 ed. 1196).
