Water Oak Seedlings

Water Oak seedlings are young trees of the species (Quercus nigra), typically grown from seeds, and they display the tree's characteristic lobed leaves and the potential to develop into a medium to large-sized deciduous tree with a spreading canopy.

Water Oak Seedlings have an expected mature height of up to 98 feet and can live for up to 80 years. When they begin to sprout, they'll turn into young trees. They'll have brown, smooth bark at this stage, although it will change to gray-black as they mature. Additionally, they'll transition from being smooth into having scaly, rough edges. After the pollination process, another sign of maturity happens around the 18-month mark.

The Leaves Of Water Oak Seedlings

The leaves of these deciduous trees are simple and alternate. They're also quite hardy and will stay until approximately mid-winter. Although they're broad and can take on variable shapes, their most common appearance is spatula-like. Their base is small and wedged, but they spread out and become rounded near the end.

Another way to describe these easily recognizable leaves is that they look almost like each has a drop of H2O hanging off them. On the bottom, they appear to be pale bluish-green. They mostly have a dull green color on the top, although some may also have a richer bluish-green than their bottom. During the fall, they'll transform into a bright yellow that will brighten your yard!

The Acorns Of The Water Oak Seedlings

It takes at least 20 years for them to develop fruit and flowers. Once they finally arrive, though, you'll see a heavy crop of acorns. These acorns will return in most subsequent years and provide a good food source for wildlife. During the fall season, squirrels will run across this tree's limbs to shake the acorns free. This, in turn, helps produce more of them.

The Flowers Of The Water Oak Seedlings

Flower season comes in spring. Several yellowish-brown flowers pop up together in clumps. These are different from the showiest flowers but will stand out nicely due to their contrast with the green leaves. Water Oak Seedlings have drooping branches and bright yellow leaves for about one week in the fall, and they require approximately 60 to 70 feet to spread out their roots. As a bonus, their lifespan is about the same as that of humans.
