The Black oak is, perhaps confusingly, a red oak type from the USA with big, hard textured, deeply lobed foliage, dark green above and pale hairy beneath, often 30cm long. A much bolder looking tree than the relatively common Red oak, Q. rubra. Makes a large impressive hardy tree, but not good on shallow chalk soils. A bright yellow dye, quercitron, has been extracted from the inner bark in its homelands.
