An individual instance of Quercus rubra (northern red oak)
Permanent unique identifier for this particular organism:
http://bioimages.vanderbilt.edu/vanderbilt/15-227
Notes:
The red oak in front of the Payne Building on the Peabody Esplanade has the distinction of being the largest tree on Peabody Campus, as well as the largest red oak in the arboretum. Its 118 cm (46 in.) diameter, 30 m (97 ft.) height, and 21 m (67 ft.) crown spread place it among the ten largest oaks at Vanderbilt and make it one of the tallest trees on campus.
If you can find acorns under the tree, you will notice that their cups look like little French berets. Despite the name "red oak", the leaves have a somewhat dull red color in the fall. Hoever, red color often shows up in leaf petioles.
