Fagaceae - Beech Family
"A Year With the Trees" - Tree Number 43
Northern Red Oak
Quercus rubra
Spring
This Northern Red Oak lives beside my house. This tree is part of a group of trees I call the three sisters.
Summer
images coming next summer.....
Fall
These tall, strong trees live beside my house. I am amazed at the amount of acorns they produced this year. Each year is different. This particular year (2010) was a mast year.
Winter
The acorns of the northern red oak only take up a quarter of the acorn and appear almost beret like.
The Northern Red Oak has ridges in it's bark that appears to have shiny lines running throughout the bark from the top to the bottom.
One of my passions in life is to find ancient forests and share time with elder trees. Researchers are discovering just why we need these elder trees in ancient forests in as many areas on earth as is possible. We don't only just need them, it is imperative to the health of our planet. I encourage you to read as much as possible. If you find you have a passion to help our earth heal, support ancient forest protection and creation of ancient forests on earth.
One book I just finished reading is "The Hidden Life of Trees" by Peter Wohlleben. My eyes were open to so much I didn't know about the lives of trees.
I will be sharing other books here with you and hope you will find them as enlightening as I do.
