Kentucky Color: Flatwoods Scarlet Oak By Billy Joe Fudge I've often been told by many homeowners that Oak leaves are not pretty in the fall; that they go from green to brown. Well, those homeowners clearly never met up with a Scarlet oak like the one on the west side of Hwy 61 in the Flatwoods. Scarlet oak is a beautiful tree for the yard if you don't mind acorns on the ground. It is considered a low quality timber species since it retains its dead limbs for years which prevents the laying on of clear, high quality wood! Young tinder leaves in the spring and acorns in the fall of many oaks, including Scarlet oak, can be poisonous to horse stock because of high concentrations of tannins. The good news is, if they have plenty of grass, they probably won't ingest enough volume to cause a problem. However, some horses can actually develop a taste for acorns.
