Pin Oak is a large dense headed deciduous tree with slender branches, not as long-lived as English Oak. The leaves are deeply and sharply lobed and turn a rich decorative scarlet in autumn though they are smaller than the Scarlet Oak. Usefully quick growing on poorer soils and clay. Wet soils in winter do not cause problems. The fibrous root system also means they are easy to transplant. Acorns take 2 seasons to form and trees need to be near other Red, Scarlet or Pin oaks for pollination.
