Talk:Quercus rubra

Untitled
Hello editors, I think I would like to include a section of the northern red oak's development as a response to the various pathogens that have been specific to it. As I was looking at sources, I realized that the species' seedlings have been well studied, especially recently, as a model for dispersal. This may be subject to change and will require much more sources, but what I have seen so far could make good supporting information that explains its development. Some of the sources I found also focus on northern red oak stress tolerance, which is very interesting, but a little bit more organization would be needed to incorporate that as well. Any feedback provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Easier to find information
Maybe we should do something with a more categorized approach, i.e. HABITAT, USES, SIZE, DISTRIBUTION, etc. to make it easier to find information. Neobubblegirl 15:09, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm applying the more recent Wikiproject Plants template, then adding more info. (SEWilco 01:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC))

Does anybody have any information on the rooting structure of the Red Oak? I've been scouring the internet and so far it seems that the only place to find it is in scientific journals which I don't have access to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.236.179.31 (talk) 02:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Map of native region???
This article badly needs a map showing the native region in which Northern Red Oaks are found.

Leaf pictures

 * Will do, there's one in my local park - MPF 09:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There was one on commons anyway - I've added it - MPF 09:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

cleaning up
There are a few spelling errors to be fixed, and also some redundancy; for example, leaves are described twice. Audiosqueegee 22:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Firewood Ratings appropriate?
I was wondering if this is the place (and other tree pages) to discuss firewood ratings?Trucker11 (talk) 14:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Age and size
Comparing the circumferences of up to 30 ft http://www.nativetreesociety.org/bigtree/great_eastern_trees.htm (diameters of c. 10 ft) with the photo of Orwig by the 326 year old tree http://people.eku.edu/pedersonn/OLDLISTeast/Spp/QURU.html makes one wonder at the age of these larger trees. Some are coppiced I understand, which may be the explanation. Rich Farmbrough, 10:23, 26 November 2009 (UTC).

Germination of Acorn
I don't believe that the Northern Red Oak acorn requires sustained(3 month) sub -40 temperatures for germination. The tree is growing in some areas that have not seen those temperatures in the lifespan of the current extant trees, e.g. Alabama and Georgia. See Wikipedia articles on state temperatures.
