The Scarlet Oak is one of my favorite trees. In my forest it is distinguished from the other two species of red oak by the bark which starts blocky at the bottom and becomes streaky higher up, the leaves with fewer lobes and much deeper sinuses that turn deep scarlet or orange in the autumn, and the acorns which have a kind of glossy cap, and nuts often with concentric indented circles around the tip. These trees usually tend to grow inside the evergreen rhododendron thickets, making them hard to find. I know of three specimens in Lot A. The first one I found (and the only one for quite some time) is a fairly spindly tree growing at the edge of the access road.
I found a second one in the NW corner, and happened to find the corner pin at the same time.
During a much later visit, I pushed my way through heavy rhododendron thicket to encounter the third confirmed Scarlet Oak on Lot A, 3ft, 1.25" in circumference at chest height.
On Lot B, I located two Scarlet Oak trees via drone. They are deep in the steep, extensive north-facing evergreen thicket, impossible to reach on foot so far. There may be others lurking in that thicket which probably covers about 7 acres.
The SE section of Lot C has two Scarlet Oaks, one of which is a decent sized specimen (3ft, 11" in circumference).
...and in the NW corner of Lot C, bordering the pine grove, there is another small Scarlet Oak, 2ft 7" in circumference.
Walking down the ridge from W to E, there is a 3ft 3.5" circumference specimen which shows a very abrupt transition from blocky bark at the base to streaky bark above.
...and finally, by far my biggest Scarlet Oak is further down the evergreen ridge to the east, with a circumference at chest height of 5ft 4". There was a bonanza of acorns beneath it when I discovered it in October 2023.
