	09/03/01 -- Missouri's Red Oaks Are Dying
		Red oaks, which make up well over half the forests in Missouri and western Illinois, are dying in unprecedented numbers.
		The generation of oaks that flourished after the land was cleared around the turn of the century is reaching the end of its natural lifespan.
		The most dramatic example of oak failure is in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, where tens of thousands of acres of Ozarks forest have been infested by a beetle called the red oak borer.

	Floridata: Quercus rubra
		The northern red oak is a dramatic and powerful tree that normally grows 60-80 ft (18.3-24.4 m) in height with a trunk diameter of 2-3 ft (0.6-0.9 m).
		All oaks have simple, alternate leaves; those of the northern red oak are 5-9 in (1.5-2.7 cm) long and have 7, 9 or 11 unequal lobes; each lobe usually has three pointed teeth with little bristles on the tips.
		Northern red oak is perhaps the fastest growing of all the oaks; it can put on more than 2 ft (0.6 m) per year in its youth, and begin producing acorns in as little as 20 years.

	Delta Farm Press: Decimating red oaks…: Borer threatens Southern forests (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Although the red oak borer has always been found in Arkansas, it was not considered a serious pest until a few years ago, when sudden population growth turned it into a threat to the region's hardwood forestry industry.
		The red oak borer is an opportunistic pest that probably got a boost during a severe drought in the late 1990s.
		UA graduate students are conducting research on genetic traits that govern the red oak borer's life cycle or habits; using geographic information systems to identify infested areas and track and predict their spread; and other projects to help shed light on how to understand and control this pest.

	Oak Wilt
		The initial symptoms of oak wilt are easily identified in red oaks by the rapid wilting of the leaves in the upper crown of the tree.
		Also, when oak wilt symptoms are first noticed in red oaks, the fungus has already spread throughout the tree and into the root system.
		All oak wilt-killed red oaks are re-inspected in the fall by Forestry Division personnel to determine which trees are Potential Spore Producers and thus, infectious for the overland spread of the disease the following spring.

		Regarding the native range of Shumard red oak, Robert Vines (in TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OF THE SOUTHWEST) indicates that it is native on moist hillsides or bottom lands in clay soils in central Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas; eastward through Louisiana to Florida; northward to Pennsylvania and west to Kansas.
		To sum up the confusion with Texas red oak (Spanish oak) and Shumard red oak: when looking at a state map, Texas red oak is native west of I-35 and Shumard red oak is native east of I- 35.
		Although closely related, in its true form, Texas red oak is a small, lacy leafed tree with small acorns, while Shumard red oak is a tall, large-leafed tree with large acorns.
