Not as common in Pittsburgh as many of the other types of oaks, this tree is found in most parks and woods around the city. A small grove of these trees can be seen next to the Super Playground in Highland Park. Similar to the white oak, but with different leaves and overall shape. In summer, the larger leaves contrast with those feathery, white leaves of the white oak, and it loses its brown leaves through the winter. It is a large tree with a narrow, rounded open crown with often drooping branches.
