Abstract
Turkey Oak is a fast-growing deciduous tree capable of reaching 130 feet in height, but mostly seen at 30 to 50 feet tall and wide. The 2.5 to 5-inch-long leaves are covered with a fine fuzz on both upper and lower surfaces. The one-inch-long acorns are set into big, woolly cups, and ripen in October. They germinate readily in a moist landscape. The attractive, ridged and furrowed bark reveals an orange color within its fissures. The trunk can grow to at least three or four feet in diameter. Original publication date November 1993.
