A very beautiful but dangerous foreigner. Its native land is North America. The oak appeared in Belovezhskaya Pushcha in the 1920s and 1930s, planted as part of a park ensemble.

Decades passed, and the “guest” began to invade the native forests. The red oak is unpretentious. It lives much shorter than the native pedunculate oak, and its wood is only suitable for heating stoves. Its seeds are quickly dispersed by jays and provide food for deer and wild boar during the winter.
