Oak Trees of the Northern Hemisphere

Yes they are but I don't know exactly if they are all grown for the forestry or land values or a product of natural growth or if their wood is used in building homes or furniture or what have you.

@lookatdesktop Interesting!

@lookatdesktop thinks you will like this article about wood used in the construction of furniture and such things

Well, out of the 50 that are living in Texas, I wonder if in fact there is such a thing as a Texas Oak? There is a Texas Red Oak. Here is a link to an article about a 1,000 year old Oak tree that survived Hurricane Harvey believe it or not.

@lookatdesktop Glad to hear that. Thanks for your information.

I figure they could grow well in China, in parts. Read a short article below from the link about Tree Symbolism in Chinese culture.

In winter up north, those pine trees are a very awesome and beautiful thing to see, with all the white snow on them. The reality of it is, that cold blue norther that blows through the northern most states of the USA are a force to be reckoned with.

I figure as much. Maybe you can grow some in your area. They take years to grow and can be a measure for the passage of time for a family, from the beginning of a happy marriage, to having children and raising them to adults and looking back at your life over the years while that oak tree keeps on growing. Many new home owners who start a new family plant a tree or two as a bookmark for their permanent home and the squirrels like them acorns a lot.

I pretty much stick with desert trees @lookatdesktop so many of the kinds of trees you h ave in Dallas don't do well here.

@rebelann , that must mean that there is far less rainfall in that area I would guess, right?

One day you might get that chance. I would hug ours but it is way too big around it's middle. LOL
