Pin Oak is a large native deciduous tree with a broad-pyramidal crown and branches the reach in the direction of their location on the trunk (upper are upright, lower reaches down). Lower branches often break off leaving pin-like stubs. The glossy deep green foliage is toothed and deeply lobed and turns deep red in fall. The round acorns have saucer-shaped cups that barely cover the top. Best grown in full sun and rich, moist, acidic well-drained soils. Tolerates some flooding and wet soils.
