  • Question

    Is this Scarlet Oak Ligonier PA

    Answer

    Dear BrnfaapGH_GB, good morning. I can't tell you which species you have photographed with any certainty. Oaks require a lot of information to positively identify, including an understanding of the variation of sun and shade leaves and the winter buds (which are really crucial). I wish I could help. The only thing I can write to you is that you are in the black oak group (which includes scarlet oak). Best wishes.
