Pin Oak, also called Swamp Oak, has a strong pyramidal habit with a central leader. As the tree ages, it achieves an oval-pyramidal form and it is a very distinctive tree because of the growth habit. Because of it's interesting habit, it has been widely used for lawn, park, golf courses and is one of the most popular oaks used. The leaves are a glossy dark green in summer changing to russet, bronze or red in fall. The bark is grayish brown, thin and with age develops narrow, shallow ridges and furrows.
