An oak is a tree or shrub in the genus Quercus of the beech family, Fagaceae. There are approximately 500 extant species of oaks.
Oaks are one of the oldest and most widely spread trees on this planet. They have existed way before humans were here. They feed various living creatures with their leaves and acorns.
Oaks played a crucial role in human history as well. Early humans built their homes, created tools, and constructed strong ships from oak wood. These trees are still one of the crucial sources of raw material in our modern time. Elegant furniture, flooring materials, cosmetic creams, and wine barrels are some among many products that are being produced using oak trees.
A mature oak tree can reach around 148 feet, Compared to coast redwoods which usually grow to the height of 379 feet, and can live up to 1,000 years.
The largest living oak tree is located in Mandeville, Louisiana.
