Info marker for the nearby Black Oak.
Marker reads:
Black Oak
Quercus Velutina
Native to North America. Similar in appearance to the Red Oak.
Able to thrive on poor and varied soils. Inner bark was important
for its tannin and as a source of yellow dye. The green leaves, which have a notably velvety underside, turn to yellow in the fall.
