QUERCUS . The Oaks 
In the world of trees, the Oaks stand for strength, permanence, and a noble kind of 
beauty. They live their lives in a patrician sort of aloofness, very suitable to the royal 
family. They serve, however, as such a family should serve—by being in all respects the 
example of what the perfect tree should be.

If you insist on thinking of these trees as weeds because they are natively so common, 
you miss a great deal of real beauty and charm. There is an exotic feeling about the 
compound foliage, and a wonder of reds and oranges in the Autumn. The crimson panicles 
of velvet-covered fruits are like those of no other tree.
