Oak leafs

The oak tree is unique as a deciduous tree in that most varieties are marcescent, meaning they do not shed their leaves in the fall like most leafy trees, but hold them until spring.

  1. The oak is a very special tree of great beauty with wood that is hard, workable, and with great character. Thanks for the post.

  2. Beech hedges are favoured because they do the same.
