Red Oak, Pin Oak, and N Pin Oak, that are native. The Burr is the most

The other thing that I have noticed is that maples are dying all around, some
of the nurseries are recommending that one not plant maples because they do
not do well with acid rain or pollutants or whatever is killing them all over.
Some of my neighbors have had expensive programs of vertical mulching and
injections to help try to save their maples. N.
