This site is the most xeric habitat on the mountain because of high insolation , 70 percent slopes, and medium- to coarse-textured soils derived from ...
Under optimal conditions and full sun, northern red oak is fast growing and a 10-year-old tree can be 5–6 m (16–20 ft) tall.

When at a lower elevation surrounding the Appalachian Mountains, pine forests and heaths are a common component. Oak seeds are faster-growing than many other trees and can compete very successfully.
