It was introduced to Europe in the 18th century and continues to flourish there. Color ranges from a pale tan to a medium brown with a reddish hue. The grain is open, and the texture of the wood is coarse and porous with a dull luster. Grain patterns are determined by machining; plainsawn lumber has a grain pattern with a plumed or flared appearance, riftsawn planks are tightly grained, and quartersawn planks have a flaked pattern, also known as tiger rays or butterflies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e   Northern red oak is the species most noted for adaptability. It is a hardy species that flourishes in many different kinds of soils and environments, making it one of the most readily available hardwoods on the market. The northern red oak tree grows fairly quickly to an average size of 115-140 feet in height and up to 4 feet in diameter. The grain pattern of the northern red oak is distinctive, with shiny, silvery waves, curls, and stripes. Southern red oak is softer and less durable, and tends to be lighter in color with less distinctive grain marking. It is an adaptable type of tree, noted for faster growth. It is easy to work with and quite durable when properly dried, but is more commonly used for furniture, while northern red oak is more commonly used for flooring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e   The northern red oak grows straight and tall, to 90 ft, exceptionally to 140 ft tall, with a trunk of up to 20–40 in. diameter. Open-grown trees do not get so tall, but can develop a stouter trunk, up to 6 ft in diameter. It has stout branches growing at right angles to the stem, forming a narrow round-topped head. It grows rapidly and is tolerant of many soils and varied situations, although it prefers the glacial drift and well-drained borders of streams. It is frequently a part of the canopy in an oak-heath forest, but generally not as important as some other oaks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"4\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\" border=\"1\" width=\"80%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuercus falcata\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003eSoutheastern United States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eJanka Hardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003e1060 lb\u003csub\u003ef\u003c\/sub\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eAverage Dried Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003e42 lbs\/ft\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eWorkability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003eEasy to glue, takes stains and finishes very well.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eRelated Species\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus velutina)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBur Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus macrocarpa)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Black Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus kelloggii)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherrybark Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus pagoda)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChestnut Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus prinus)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus robur)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHolm Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus ilex)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus mongolica)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaurel Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus laurifolia)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLive Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus virginiana)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOregon White Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus garryana)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOvercup Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus lyrata)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePin Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus palustris)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePost Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus stellata)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRed Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus rubra)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScarlet Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus coccinea)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSessile Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus petraea)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShumard Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus shumardii)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwamp Chestnut Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus michauxii)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwamp White Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus bicolor)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTurkey Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus cerris)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Quercus nigra)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"White Oak -
