Quercus stellata, the post oak or iron oak, is a North American species of oak in the white oak section. It is a slow-growing oak that lives in dry areas on the edges of fields, tops of ridges, and also grows in poor soils, and is resistant to rot, fire, and drought. Interbreeding occurs among white oaks, thus many hybrid species combinations ...
It was purchased by the U.S. government in [2] 1828 as the first federal tree farm and began operations on January 18, 1829. It serves today as part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore forest community preserved by the National Park Service on January 8, 1971, and added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on September 28, 1998.
The Tree That Owns Itself is an oak tree in Eufaula, Alabama. [1] A tree in the same location was given its freedom by E. H. Graves, the mayor of Eufaula, in 1935. Confederate soldier Captain John A. Walker previously owned the land that the tree is on, so the original tree was known as the Walker Oak .
The surviving Creeks then built their village near the Council Oak. They named the village talasi or "Old Town." [b] The Council Oak is believed to have been a mature tree when the Creeks arrived. [4] Although its age is not known, the same tree still lives as of 2023. One source claims it is a post oak tree (Quercus stellata).
Oak forests are categorized as deciduous forests which commonly have dense canopy cover (~70%) on dry soils with large amounts of undecomposed oak leaves over the ground. [2] The forests are commonly found around the Appalachian Mountains and neighboring areas in the Midwest United States . [ 3 ]
The formula for the volume of a frustum of a paraboloid [23] [24] is: V = (π h/2)(r 1 2 + r 2 2), where h = height of the frustum, r 1 is the radius of the base of the frustum, and r 2 is the radius of the top of the frustum. This allows us to use a paraboloid frustum where that form appears more appropriate than a cone.

A forest or grove that has been subject to coppicing is called a copse / k ɒ p s / or coppice, in which young tree stems are repeatedly cut down to near ground level. The resulting living stumps are called stools. New growth emerges, and after a number of years, the coppiced trees are harvested, and the cycle begins anew.
