TREES ON THE TRACT. 45 
WATER OAK. 
Water oak occurs throughout the deep swamps and bottoms and 
along runs and pocosons. It is the oak most largely represented on 
the tract. Scattered individuals are associated with all species except 
longleaf and shortleaf pine. It requires a fair amount of moisture 
and attains good growth even in standing water: The best develop- 
ment is found along streams and in the drier swamps on rich, moist 
loam. 
The water oak reaches a large size. Trees 30 inches in diameter are 
not uncommon, and trees 4 feet in diameter are occasionally seen. It 
sometimes reaches a height of 90 to 100 feet. It has a rather long con- 
ical crown, with a fair length of clear bole. -It is, however, often 
unsound. In tolerance it ranks with the red gum and hickories. Repro- 
duction is nearly wanting, but saplings and poles are plentiful. 
OTHER OAKS. 
The white, black, red, and Spanish oaks all sometimes reach good 
size on the bottomlands. The post, blackjack, Spanish, and black 
oaks also occur on the drier soils, as stunted trees. They seldom, 
however, interfere with the reproduction of pine.
