The Shooting Star™ Northern Pin Oak boasts a beautiful, upright pyramidal form. In spring, its new leaves emerge a striking brick-red before turning green for the summer months. The spiny-lobed leaves transition to a vibrant red again in the fall. The acorns are a favourite of many animals, including squirrels, jays, and deer. Adaptable to a variety of soil types and somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, the Shooting Star™ is an excellent shade tree for parks, yards, or along streets.
