Black Oak Black Oak trees occur naturally on poor sandy or clay hillsides. This deciduous tree has deeply furrowed bark and on mature trees is nearly black. The characteristic inner bark is bright yellow to orange, hence the alternate common name of Yellow Oak. The wood, while hard and strong is not tough. Still, it is used in much the same ways. Historically, the inner bark was important for its tannin and as a source of yellow dye. |
