Black Oak
This deciduous tree has deeply furrowed bark and on mature trees is nearly black.
It is sometimes called yellow oak, quercitron, yellowbark oak, or smoothbark oak.
Historically, the inner bark was important for its tannin and as a source of yellow dye.
One of the main differences include its ability to thrive on poor and varied soils.
Black Oak trees occur naturally on poor sandy or clay hillsides.
The Black Oak tree, Quercus velutina, is very similar in appearance to the Red Oak.

Morning glory likes hot summer weather. This fast growing, large leaf plant makes an ideal screening plant. If you start seeds off indoors, do not put them out until the weather has warmed up.
