Oaks • Quercus 
The Oaks represent the sturdiest character of our tree family— 
long-lived trees that defy ocean blast and prairie wind. There is 
an Oak for every soil-condition. The thought that they are slow- 
growing is erroneous; when established they grow just as fast as 
the maple or linden. Long Island is an Oak country; 80 per cent 
of the forest is Oak, and the noblest trees left along property 
lines and roadsides are Oaks. Oak-plantings are enduring monu¬ 
ments. They are beautiful in form and autumn coloring of foliage. 
Some hold their leaves all winter. 
QUERCUS coccinea. Scarlet Oak. The name
