Quercus velutina
Description: This was found by Sewalls Falls. These trees can be grown in slope positions and prefer temperate climates. They like well-drained, slightly acidic soil. They can also tolerate dry soil.
Rationale: Who knew there were so many kinds of oak? This one is particularly cool because of how dark the leaves are. They almost look like they have a waxy coating.
