The pin oak was the only established tree on the property and is planted as a street tree on the median strip. It looks to be as old as the house perhaps about 40 years old. It is developing a nice green mossy trunk.
The Pin Oak is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 18-22 m tall, with a trunk up to 1 m in diameter. It has an 8-14 m spread. The crown is broad conic when young, with numerous small branches radiating out from a central leader. When older, some upper branches become quite large and the central leader is lost, while the lower branches gradually droop downwards. The side branches have been cut off this street tree.
