| Leaves
have bristle-tipped lobes and are the first of oak leaves to
turn red in the fall. The bark is used as an astringent, tissue
contractor. It is moderately fast growing but isn't used as
an ornamental very often. However, it would make a good alternative
to red oak, having similar properties and higher tolerance of
wetter or drier conditions. Wood is used for veneer, cabinets,
furniture, flooring, and interior trim. |
