Southern Red Oak
Quercus falcata
This weird looking leaf surprised me on a hike one day, and quickly became one of my favorite oaks. Its common throughout the southern region of the Delaware Valley area, mostly in Southern NJ and throughout Delaware and Maryland.
The leaves look a a stretched out oak leaf, almost like a bird’s foot in my opinion. There are variations amongst trees, but the inner bark can have an almost orange tint to it, with beautiful orange capped acorns in the fall.
