Pin oak growing areas

Hi, this year I was looking for an oak species that I wanted to plant on my land up north and after doing some research I found one that I’m hoping will do well there, the pin oak, Quercus palustris.

I love oaks and was happy to read that this particular species tolerates wet conditions. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this tree, in particular in areas that get flooded in spring.

I planted a few in a flood area where there were black ash that are dying from the dreaded  emerald ash borer. The area is flooded in spring and drains so that by late spring to early summer, there is no more standing water.

Will they be ok?

Hi, Donald

I live in native oak and juniper forest.

I have so many oaks that I have not indentified them all yet.  

I only know which are the live oaks because they don't lose their leaves when the other oaks do.

I looked up pin oak since it is not one I am familiar with.

Pin oak is one of the most commonly used landscaping oaks in its native range due to its ease of transplant, relatively fast growth, and pollution tolerance.

In Canada do you have something like we have in the US called an  Agriculture Extention Office?

I would suggest contacting someone local to find out if those trees will grow in your area.
