ILLINOIS TREES: SELECTION, PLANTING, AND CARE 



87 



Fig. 80. — The 

 large, slow-growing, 

 sturdy white oak is 

 an excellent tree for 

 shade and ornamen- 

 tal purposes. Its 

 leaves (inset) have 

 seven to nine shal- 

 low to deep, some- 

 what round-tipped, 

 lobes. 



Fig. 81.— Bur oak 

 grows more rapidly 

 than white oak, al- 

 though not as fast as 

 pin and red oak. The 

 leaves (inset) are 

 thick and lustrous 

 and have round- 

 tipped lobes.
