Quercus palustris, commonly known as the pin oak, is a deciduous tree native to North America, particularly the eastern and central United States. It thrives in wet, poorly-drained soils, often in floodplains and bottomlands, which is reflected in its species name "palustris," meaning "of the marsh." The pin oak is noted for its distinctive growth habit, with a straight trunk, and branches that spread horizontally, often forming a pyramid-like shape when young. Its leaves are deeply lobed and turn a vivid red in the autumn, making it a popular choice for ornamental planting. The tree also produces small acorns, which serve as a vital food source for wildlife. Due to its adaptability, attractive form, and fall colour, Quercus palustris is widely used in landscaping and urban settings.
