As the leaves begin to change colors and drop this fall, one might be drawn to the beauty and strength of an oak tree. Being they are one of our most numerous kinds of trees, people could notice oak trees in yards, along streets, at businesses, churches, in parks and in our diverse forests. Looking up at the trees, the majesty of the grand old oaks is indeed hard to describe. Looking at the ground, it is even amazing to imagine that treasured oaks come from tiny acorns. 

When homeowners decide to plant trees around the home landscape, typically, only a few popular choices come into consideration, such as dogwood, maple, cherry or crape myrtle; however, oaks are seldom thought of as trees that could be added around the home because they don’t flower vividly, or they tend to grow much too slowly.
