I thought I would share this field guide with members that are interested in Oak Trees. This guide list most of the Oak trees for North America and some hybrids and has maps of their location and where they might grow.

Check it out....Frank

That was good information. I have seen bur oaks here and there around the big lakes and waterways in NW Ontario but they are not prevalent. Never seen a Northern Red Oak that I can remember but they apparently may be found South - Southwest of Thunder Bay. Interesting, might be something to consider planting.

I have also seen large Burr Oak in my area and now many municipalities are planting them along roads and boardwalks instead of Norway Maple.
Most of the wild oak trees I see up north and around the hunt camp are Northern Red Oaks. If the lobes are pointed their in the red oak family, if they have rounded lobes their in the white oak family.
I planted several burrs and swamp white last fall along with acorns from both trees, we'll see what happens.
