Quercus palustris (Pin Oak or Swamp Oak) Quercus palustris is a medium sized, deciduous tree, ideal for parklands, large gardens or avenues. Native to North America, it was introduced to Great Britain in October 2011 the early 1800s. With a broadly pyramidal crown, this tree grows to around 20m in height - one tree in Hyde Park was recorded as reaching 28m. As it matures, the lower branches begin to droop. Its most notable features is the unusual foliage which is deeply cut with pointed lobes. In the autumn it turns to fiery russets, reds and oranges. Quercus palustris adapts to a wide range of soil condi- tions though will struggle on soils with a high pH. It can cope with moderate drought, urban pollution and has a good tolerance for exposed sites. Plant Profile Name: Quercus palustris Common Name: Pin Oak or Swamp Oak Family: Fagaceae Height: approx. 20m Demands: Best on a moist, well drained, acidic soil in full sun Foliage: Deeply lobed.

Smart tree selections for communities and landowners Bert Cregg and Robert Schutzki, Michigan State University, Departments of Horticulture and Forestry A smart urban or community landscape has a diverse combination of trees. The devastation caused by exotic pests such as Dutch elm disease, chestnut blight and emerald ash borer has taught us the importance of species diversity in our landscapes. Exotic invasive pests can devastate existing trees because many of these species may not have evolved resistance mechanisms in their native environments. In the recent case of emerald ash borer, white ash and green ash were not resistant to the pest and some communities in Michigan lost up to 20 percent of their tree cover.

Quercus Palustris Pin Oak1 Edward F
Fact Sheet ST-555 October 1994 Quercus palustris Pin Oak1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Pin Oak is one of the most utilized (perhaps overused) Oaks in the midwest and eastern United States (Fig. 1). Popular due to the attractive pyramidal shape and straight, dominant trunk, even on older specimens, it exhibits chlorosis on high pH and limestone soils because of iron-deficiency and so is not highly recommended for these sites. Green, glossy leaves borne on relatively small-diameter branches give way to brilliant red to bronze fall color attracting attention in the landscape. Some brown leaves persist on the tree into the winter providing interest to some people. Others do not care to use Pin Oak because of the leaf persistence characteristic. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Quercus palustris Pronunciation: KWERK-us pal-US-triss Common name(s): Pin Oak Figure 1. Young Pin Oak.

The Distribution of the Genus Quercus in Illinois: an Update
Transactions of the Illinois State Academy of Science received 3/19/02 (2002), Volume 95, #4, pp. 261-284 accepted 6/23/02 The Distribution of the Genus Quercus in Illinois: An Update Nick A. Stoynoff Glenbard East High School Lombard, IL 60148 William J. Hess The Morton Arboretum Lisle, IL 60532 ABSTRACT This paper updates the distribution of members of the black oak [section Lobatae] and white oak [section Quercus] groups native to Illinois. In addition a brief discussion of Illinois’ spontaneously occurring hybrid oaks is presented. The findings reported are based on personal collections, herbarium specimens, and published documents. INTRODUCTION The genus Quercus is well known in Illinois. Although some taxa are widespread, a few have a limited distribution. Three species are of “special concern” and are listed as either threatened (Quercus phellos L., willow oak; Quercus montana Willd., rock chestnut oak) or endangered (Quercus texana Buckl., Nuttall’s oak) [Illinois Endangered Species Pro- tection Board 1999]. The Illinois Natural History Survey has dedicated a portion of its website [www.INHS.uiuc.edu] to the species of Quercus in Illinois. A discussion of all oaks from North America is available online from the Flora of North America Associa- tion [http://hua.huh.harvard.edu/FNA/] and in print [Jensen 1997, Nixon 1997, Nixon and Muller 1997]. The National Plant Data Center maintains an extensive online database [http://plants.usda.gov] documenting information on plants in the United States and its territories. Extensive oak data are available there [U.S.D.A. 2001]. During the last 40 years the number of native oak species recognized for Illinois by vari- ous floristic authors has varied little [Tables 1 & 2].

Appalachians Southwest Geographic Range The primary range of this system is limited areas of the "Jackson Purchase" or "Jackson Plain" of KY and possibly related areas in adjacent western TN, as well as related broad, flat areas of the western Interior Low Plateau. It is assumed to cross the Ohio River into adjacent IN. It has been discerned from wetland modeling and confirmed by observation in the Moulton Valley of AL. The Map of the Jackson Purchase Region of KY with subdivisions (Davis 1923)shows The Barrens(BpS 4714270) and The Flatwoods (BpS 4714570 and 4713260) as map units (in Bryant and Held 2001). Biophysical Site Description These flatwoods have long been recognized as the primary vegetation type of a distinctive subdivision within the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain region (Davis 1923, Bryant and Martin 1988), as well as related areas of the western Interior Low Plateau. Within the "Jackson Plain" portion of the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain, these flatwoods tend to be confined to relatively small areas near the eastern flank of the "Jackson Plain" region where the loess deposits thin out.
