The Pin Oak Tree Quercus palustris
The pin oak tree can typically be found in swampy, low lands of forested areas. It is very common to see it in seasonal standing water where no other oaks are growing.

It likes acidic soil which is common in the swampy spots of the forest.

In the Oak Openings Region of Ohio the higher sand dunes will quickly give way to swampy areas.

Black oak, white oak, and others will be growing on the sand dunes. Several feet away in a swampy area there will only be pin oaks.
