Fall
A sign of fall is when the Oak trees are filled with acorns. This incredible White Oak tree is brimming with acorns. It is said that 180 animals and birds eat Oak acorns.
The White Oak can grow up to 100 feet and live 300 years. It's leaf is easily identified by its curved lobes. The leaves will soon be changing to a purple red color. The National Champion White Oak lives in Brunswick, Virginia. It is 83 feet tall and has a circumference of 312 inches. You can read more at www.americanforests.org.

| The White Oak tree in this image lives in Mountain Home, Arkansas. The acorns are growing still in September. I am glad to see so many acorns. For I know that the wildlife will have food in the winter. |
