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.
