Common Name: white oak
Scientific Name: Quercus alba
Category: Community tree
Comments: This tree stands on a million legs. Its leaves blow in the wind like human hair. It is the most precious tree in our neighborhood. Its branches remind me of a cheer-leading pompom. Its trunk is like a baseball bat. It soars through the wind during all of those ferocious storms, like the brave men fighting in wars, its leaves holding on with all their might. It has been struck by lightning like a person getting shot with a gun. That is our story of this beautiful oak tree.
