Oak
Quercus
Oak trees are large deciduous trees known for their strength and longevity. They produce acorns, which are the seeds of the tree. Acorns are an important food source for wildlife, including squirrels and deer. Oak trees are often found in woodlands, forests, and parks.
Oak trees are commonly found in temperate climates, especially in woodlands, forests, and along roadsides. They thrive in well-drained soils and can tolerate a variety of environmental conditions. Oaks are native to many regions in the Northern Hemisphere.
Acorns can be toxic to livestock in large quantities, especially for cattle and horses. The oak tree's leaves, bark, and acorns contain tannins, which can be harmful if ingested in excess.
