| There are two blackjack oaks (Quercus marilandica) in the arboretum collection, and they turn two different colors in the fall. Our oldest specimen turns bright orange. You can read about it here. The younger of the two turns deep red; it's pictured below. |

| This small tree is over 20 years old. You can learn its history (along with an explanation for its short stature) from a previous blog post, found here. Unlike the other blackjack oak, this one turns unmistakably red. Both trees were purchased from Woodlanders Nursery (Aiken, SC). |
