The Oaks

Two of the easiest leaves to collect in our scavenger-hunt style leaf collection assignment, both of these oaks are found in Pansy Patch Park. The two leaves are easy to differentiate; the red oak has pointy lobes where the bur oak has round lobes.


Bur Oak (quercus macrocarpa)



Red Oak (quercus rubra)
