The Latin name for oak, Quercus, means “a fine tree.” The oaks have been key in America’s industrial transformation: railroad ties, wheels, plows, looms, barrels, and of course, furniture and floors. The oak is the state tree of New Jersey. It is widespread throughout Eastern U.S. The oaks are by far the most abundant species group growing in the Eastern hardwood forests. Average tree height is 60 to 80 feet. The sapwood of red oak is white to light brown and the heartwood is a pinkish reddish brown. The wood is mostly straight-grained, with a coarse texture. The wood is hard with medium bending strength, stiffness, high crushing strength and great wear-resistance.
