acorn cup is fringed around the bottom. This tree possesses
a large spreading crown and massive trunk with fire-resistant
bark that makes it a common site in savannas. It is slow growing
but can live up to 600 years. The tree may become too large
for lawns but does well in parks and is very tolerant of air
pollution. The wood is similar to white oak and used in a variety
of products. |
