Natural World Education - Naturalist Moment - Water Oak Tree

Welcome to this week's Naturalist Moment.

Don't forget to check us out at www.naturalworldeducation.com

In this video we talk about a Common South Georgia Tree, the Water Oak. Water oak is a conical to round-topped tree, 50-100 ft. tall, with thick, leathery, leaves that are semi-evergreen in the warmer parts of its range. The shiny, dark-green leaves are wedge-shaped and may have lobes at the tips. Foliage becomes yellow in fall. Tree with conical or rounded crown of slender branches, and fine textured foliage of small leaves. A handsome, rapidly growing shade tree for moist soils in the Southeast; however, Water Oak is short-lived.
