The Eastern redcedar, scientifically known as Juniperus virginiana, is a versatile and resilient evergreen tree native to North America.
In the fall, I love driving down the road to see beautiful trees changing color as they prepare to drop their leaves for the winter. My favorite trees, however, are magnificent, fiery red maple trees. Their color stands so boldly against the yellow and brown background of the other fall colors.
Next time you’re walking in the woods or in the park, take a moment to look up. If you see a tree that is over 100 ft tall, there is a good chance you are seeing a sycamore tree.
Imagine walking through a tranquil forest in early autumn. The air is crisp, the sunlight filters softly through a canopy of vibrant leaves. Among the trees that paint this picturesque scene, one stands out with its striking, radiant colors—the pin oak.
The pin oak (Quercus palustris) is a member of the Fagaceae family, native to the central and eastern United States. Known for its distinctive pyramidal shape and slender, pin-like branches, this deciduous tree can grow up to 70 feet tall, with a spread of up to 40 feet.
This tree is quite a unique specimen. Its qualities – name, oil, habitat, and how it reproduces – make sassafras a tree to marvel at.
