CelebriTree Program (2023)
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).
