Hey y'all! Let's learn about Scarlet Oaks!
The Scarlet Oak or Quercus Coccinea grows relatively fast. To thrive, it needs a wide range of soils. In Spring and Summer, the leaves are glossy green and a lighter green on the bottom of the leaf. The tree gets its name from the fact that during fall, it turns scarlet. The tree grows in a rounded shape providing a nice place for shade (and a lemonade) on a hot summer's day. Scarlet Oaks can grow to a height of around 60 to 80 feet. It blooms in April to May. The Scarlet Oak is an important food source for Wild Turkeys, Grouse, Squirrels, and Whitetail Deer.
