The pin oak is a large, beautiful tree that grows up to 70 feet tall and can reach two feet in diameter. It commonly has a strong, upright single stem with numerous long, tough branches. The lower branches tend to droop, the middle ones are more horizontal and the upper ones are ascending. This gives the tree a pyramidal shape, and the many small, bristling twigs and branches give the tree its name. The pin oak is found widely over the east central United States. In Iowa it is found in the southeastern part of the state on rich, moist bottomland soils, along streams and rivers. It is planted widely for shade and ornamental use.
The leaves of the pin oak are simple, lobed and bristle tipped . They are smaller and the lobes more deeply cut than the red oak leaves with the lobe sinuses reaching almost to leaf mid-vein. They also have fewer lobes than the black oak leaves. They are dark green and very shiny above, paler and grayish below, with large tufts of pale hairs in the axils of the veins.
The young branches are send out short, stiff, spurlike lateral twigs. The fruit is a small acorn, about 1/2 inch long and almost round. The shallowcap of the acorn covers one-third or less of the fruit.
On young stems the bark is smooth, shiny and light brown. On old large limbs and trunks it is light gray-brown and is covered by small, close scales.
