quercus
Quercus rubra, or more commonly, red oak. Stamp is from 1978 and designed by Heather Cooper
Red oak is a native tree and the leaves can grow between 10cm to 20cm in length (or about 2" to 8") and are a good food source for deer, black bear and squirrels

We have some quercus around here, but not this variety. The colour of the leaves must be wonderful.
I managed to find stamps fr Q. See them here.
I'd like to see a red oak, our woods in Cumbria have sessile oaks who like a hilly slope
My Q is here</a.

Nice stamp! I like to read who enjoys eating the leaves :-)
That's a pretty stamp, and a great option for Q. Mine is here: https://envelope100.blogspot.com/2026/05/sunday-stamps-on-monday-q-is-for.html
