ID That Tree: Post Oak

In this edition of ID That Tree, we're going to introduce you to yet another southern Indiana oak species. This one is a member of the broad white oak group and it's called post oak. It's called that because it's a very rot resistant and hard wood that used to be used for fence posts. It has rounded lobes, no bristle tips, and typified by a cruciform shape of leaf.

Beautiful trees and very slow growing! I had to remove one in North Mississippi that was 23" DBH and it was 134 yrs old - and zero heart rot which is unusual for us.
