Oak galls are excrescences that are sometimes produced in great numbers on the tree and are caused by the activity of the larvae of different insects. The insects live inside these galls, obtaining their nutrient therein. When the insect pupates and leaves, the gall can be used as a rich source of tannin, that can also be used as a dyestuff;
Wood - very heavy, hard, strong, close-grained, brittle. Of no commercial value, it is used only for fuel; | | | Height [2] | 33 feet (10 m) | | Width [1] | 80 feet (24.4 m) | | | Hardiness Zone Minimum [1] | USDA Zone: 9 Low Temperature: 20 F° (-6.7 C°) → 30 F° (-1.1 C°) | | Hardiness Zone Maximum [1] | USDA Zone: 11 Low Temperature: 40 F° (4.4 C°) → 50 F° (10 C°) | | Water Use [1] | Low |
