Shingle Oak
chêne bardeau
Quercus imbricaria
At first glance, this tree doesn’t seem like an oak to many people because the whole, lustrous leaves aren’t cut into lobes like a typical oak leaf. However, the tree itself is very like an oak in size and presence, becoming more impressive and distinctive as it ages, with wide-spreading thick branches. Native to the US Midwest, it is growing further north as the climate becomes warmer. Shingle Oak grows to be 15 to 20 metres high, 5 to 10 metres wide. This tree is located about 20 metres southwest of the nearby White Oak (2).
