Oak trees are usually large in size. They can reach 70 feet in height and 9

feet in width. Their branches can reach 135 feet in length.

Oaks produce more than 2000 acorns every year, but only one in 10 000
acorns will manage to develop into oak tree.
They can survive in various forest ,including temperate climate.They also
can reach 70 feet in height and 9 feet.There branches can reach 135 feet in
length.
Oak trees live over 200 years.
Oaks produce both male and female flowers. Male flowers are arranged in
clusters called catkins. Female flowers are much smaller.
