About this Pin Oak Bonsai, 18 Years Old (Quercus palustris)
Quercus palustris at 18 years, 17 to 19 inches tall, a deciduous North American native that reaches medium size when left in the landscape. Its leaves carry five or seven pointed lobes, each armed with five to seven bristle-tipped teeth, and the sinuses between them are u-shaped and cut so deeply that the open space accounts for roughly as much area as the leaf blade itself. The acorns sit in a shallow, thin cup. Oaks are outdoor trees needing a full winter dormancy, and this one has age enough behind it to show real bark character.
