Oak, Northern Pin Oak
The Northern Pin Oak is a tough, adaptable native well suited to the upper Midwest, including sandy and acidic soils where other oaks struggle. Its deeply lobed, glossy leaves turn brilliant scarlet and russet in fall, often holding through early winter. Forming a neat, pyramidal canopy in youth, it matures into a stately shade tree. Plant it in full sun, where it tolerates drought and poor soils with ease. Its fall color rivals the finest of the red oak group. For native toughness and fiery autumn color, the Northern Pin Oak excels.
