Slightly acidic is the soil water preference of oak trees (Quercus spp).

They also will be found in close quarters with acid-loving, delicious berry-sporting shrubs.

What grows under oak trees?

Acidic soil-, drought- and shade-tolerant grasses are the types of grasses that grow best under oak trees. Oak trees quickly grab light and moisture, leave the understory widely shaded and lose their leaves in autumn. Grasses such as centipede (Eremochloa ophiuroides) and St. Augustine (Stenotaphrum secundatum) -- and northern sea oats (Chasmanthium latifolium), switch (Panicum spp) and tufted hair (Deschampsia spp) grasses in the presence of sufficient natural and supplementary water -- and ornamentals such as June (Koeleria spp) and muhly (Muhlenbergia spp) grasses tend to be good candidates when permitted to get at least four hours of daily sunlight (even if indirectly filtered through the oak canopy), grow to two- to three-inch (5.08- to 7.62-centimeter) heights and receive organic compost instead of nitrogen-heavy fertilizer.

Where does oak trees grow in the world?

I grew up in Virginia so I know that a lot of oak trees grow in the south. Their seed is the acorn, and we used to have lots of acorns in our yard. I think oak trees may also grow in the north. There aren't many trees from the central United States all the way to the west coast (except for shelter belts) until you get to the Pacific Ocean. The trees there are mostly redwoods, sequoias, and pine, spruce, or fur trees. I was checking a book here at my house and read that you could find different varieties of oak trees pretty much everywhere in the United States except the southwest, but I know from experience that there are lots of oak trees in the South. The book listed White Oak in the northeast, Live Oak in the southeast, Bur Oak in the prairie states, and California Live Oak for the Pacific coast.

Do all live oak trees bear acorns?

Oak trees are composed of two main species types White and red with many sub species falling under both groups Of both main species types neither will quit producing acorns after maturity. However they will skip years depending on soil moisture and climatic shifts in climate and weather patterns. Stress caused by these factors may cause some species to not produce in certain years but this is typical. Red oaks are more prone to drought stress as they tend to have a shallower root depth and lack the long tap root that most white oaks have. Stress from drought and a late frost which hits after a tree has budded and began its pollination process is the leading causes of crop failures. Repeated stress on an old mature tree as well as limbs falling off due to heavy foliage can cause fungi to set in which will ultimately lead to disease and death of mature trees.

Why is my pin oak dripping sap?

Your pin oak may be dripping sap due to a few reasons, such as stress from environmental factors like drought or excessive heat, which can cause the tree to produce more sap. Additionally, damage from pests, like aphids or borers, can lead to sap exudation as the tree reacts to injury. Fungal infections or diseases may also contribute to this phenomenon. If the dripping sap is excessive or accompanied by other symptoms, it might be worth consulting an arborist for further evaluation.
