This tree has red branches and leaves that turn red during the fall season.
White Oak:
A strong and long-lasting tree with distinct bark and attractive leaves.
American Elm:
This tree has a graceful shape, serrated green leaves, and is recovering from a disease that affected it.
Black Walnut:
Recognizable by its dark and deeply furrowed bark, this tree produces edible nuts and has valuable wood.
Paper Birch
