Northern pin oak

 

[Avenuer]

I don't think I've ever seen an oak variety that turns red in the fall, cool! I was never a fan of oak foliage in the fall before since I assumed they all just turned brown. The more reds we can get in the fall foliage here, the better.

Mountain Ash with its plethora of winter-ripe red berries is also quite showy (not to mention that it also attracts birds). I also hope that there is an underground drip system for these young Oaks in that their root system draws sustenance from as much as 30 metres away from their stalk as they mature.

There are two subspecies of oak red and white. Pin oak is a member of the red oak subspecies and their leaves generally turn red while the white yellow.

I love those Ash trees and it's hard to believe most I've seen here haven't even started changing colour yet! The red berries sure provide a great 'Christmas' atmosphere in December with snow on the ground.

I took these pictures of a White Burr Oak a couple of years ago These leaves have some red in them which is unusual for white oaks.

Tamarack at Muttart

 

[Avenuer]

That tamarack looks to be quite old, I wonder if it's natural and wasn't planted?

 

[Glenco]

It is on the south side of Muttart along the drainage ditch. There are a number of mature trees oak, silver poplar and Manitoba maple that seem to be the same age This could have been here sooner.

^^^^ Incredible form! It doesn't look like the needles have begun to turn to their fall coloration yet. This should be a specimen tree with special designation (or not, in case some fool then takes it upon himself to damage it)
