It is a large, deciduous tree, growing well over 100 ft (30 m) tall, and can live more than 350 [5] years. The tallest measured shagbark, located in Savage Gulf, Tennessee, is over 150 ft (46 m) tall. [citation needed] Mature shagbarks are easy to recognize because, as their name implies, they have shaggy bark. This characteristic is, however ...
Quercus douglasii is a medium-sized tree with sparse foliage, generally 6–20 meters (20–66 feet) tall, with a trunk 36–60 centimeters (1–2 ft) in diameter at breast height. [5] Trunks are typically solitary, but some trees have multiple trunks. [5] [8] The tallest recorded specimen was found in Alameda County, at 28.7 m (94 ft).
Open-grown trees have egg-shaped crowns. [2] Heavy release sometimes results in epicormic branching. On mature trees, the bark peels away from the trunk in long, sometimes broad, strips. This gives the trees a “shaggy” appearance that is easily confused with that of the Shagbark hickory (Carya ovata). That close similarity is the reason ...
Quercus berberidifolia grows to 1–2 metres (3 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) tall, rarely to 4 m (13 ft), and has sharply toothed, dull green leaves which are 1.5–3 centimetres (5 ⁄ 8 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 8 inches) long and 1–2 cm (1 ⁄ 2 –1 in) broad, leathery on their top surfaces and somewhat hairy underneath.
The "Henley Oak", in Covelo, California, is the tallest known valley oak, at 47 m (153 ft). [7] [8] The branches have an irregular, spreading and arching appearance. During autumn, the leaves turn a yellow to light orange color but become brown later in the season. In advancing age, the branches droop. The trees have pewter-colored rippled bark ...

Shaggy falling shanks or ribbons of bark are one of the strongest characteristics of the Adenostoma sparsifolium tree, hence the common names. As the species name "sparsifolium" suggests, it has tiny, filamentous leaves. Redshanks are closely related to the more abundant Chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum).
Researchers in Chile identify a challenger to the world's oldest tree: an alerce in Alerce Costero National Park that may be over 5,000 years old. California's 'Methuselah' bristlecone pine may no ...
