Oaks have depth.

@dillyd I love the shapes of oak leaves.

@SunnJax they're so fascinating. Also the variety! The pointy red oaks, the curvy white oaks, and I even have a shingle oak, which I wouldn't have known was an oak. We call it Brigitte Bardot (bardeau, same pronunciation, means shingle in French.)

@dillyd Brigitte Bardot — I like that! 😀

I have a gambel oak that I got free from my city a year-and-a-half ago. Critters tried to destroy it after I planted it, so it’s heavily protected until it gets better established. It recovered pretty well this year and has some really pretty leaves. It’s more of a shrub than a tree, and once established is supposed to form a thicket. I’m looking forward to that, hopefully. 🤞🏽

Looking down at the top of a gambel oak plant growing inside protective wire fencing. There are two stems growing from the bottom of the plant, and each stem has several leaves arrayed around it. The leaves are dark green with wavy, rounded, lobed edges and prominent, branching veins in each leaf.
