Question
These small yellow flowers appeared on my driveway mostly under an oak tree after rain the night of June 4-5. I included a picture of the lower leaves of the tree, apparently a red oak or near. (Red, white, and scarlet all grow in the area.) Are these oak flowers? Do oaks only produce flowers in the upper part of the tree?
Answer
Dear jfc, good morning. The flowers do not belong to the oak. They look like the flowers of Celastrus orbiculatus (Oriental bittersweet). Does this liana grow in the area? Best wishes.
