There was Farmer Browns boy with

(Quercus palustris.) J

How often have We read, THE
oaks form one of the largest and
noblest of the tree families" and
promised ourselves We would see
how many of them we're established
in our neighborhood? 1t is a proven
fact that the pin oak is more widely
planted as a street and ornamental
tree than any other member of the
tribe. Therefore, city dwellers may
have an opportunity to study the
pin oak at firstehand.
Perhaps one reason the pin oak
adapts itself so we'll to the almost

is because it has, through centuries,

feet. with q trunk about feet IN
diameter.
Male and female flowers are found
on the same tree, but In a different
location. The male or staminate
blossoms are located close to the
place where the new leaf joins the
stem. They arrive at the same time
as the baby leaves and resemble
brown tassels. The female or pis-
tillate flowers are on short hairy
stems with bright red stigmas. They
are inconspicuous; look for them at
the angle where the new leaf joins
with the main stem.
OF course. you know that the male
flowers produce the pollen and the
female blossoms. the acorns. These
reddish brown acorns are set close
on the main stem in fiat, saucer
shaped cups. 1t takes two years for
them to mature, and when you see
them set either singly or in clusters,
they are always on the 2-year -old
branches. New acorns are estab-
lished on the younger wood.
Pin oak wood has no commercial
Importance in comparison with some
of the other oaks. But it is often
cut and sold as red oak, the lumber
being used for flooring, tool handles,
car stock, ties, piling and railroad
material. The wood is knotty and
checks badly when it is dry, 50 1t
cannot be used for other purposes.
Somehow, the pin oak is Stunned
by many of the insects that seek
out more important oaks. Fire dam
ages many of the finest trees grow
ing in the woods. The scale insect
is apparently the most determined
insect foe, and this trouble maker
can be controlled by spraying the
tree with lime-sulphur or miscile-
oil solutions in early spring, just
before the leaves make their appear

flats, low clay ridges, edges OF
swamps and sometimes moist upland
sites. The scientific name. palustris,
is from the Latin word palus, mean
ing swamp.
The pin oak has many short pin
like branchlets on the main branches
or on the dead branches found
through the wood to the center of
the trunk. In the winter. this tends
to give lacy appearance to the
bare tree.
Pin oaks develop a single central
trunk, with comparatively few small
side branches, which support dense
crown OF shiny green leaves from
early spring until autumn. Then
these leaves turn glorious crimson
and flutter to the ground The usual
height OF city pin oak Is 80 to 95
