This post shares photos of my favorite oak trees in New Haven during the peak of summer. The goal is to show what the trees look like their historical location in the neighborhood. Finding camera angles that captured the whole tree and created perspective with closeby houses was the greatest challenge of the project.
The tour begins with the largest tree, a white oak in Farnam memorial gardens. This tree is featured in the Yale nature walk. Here is the link: https://naturewalk.yale.edu/trees/fagaceae/quercus-alba/white-oak-98

The sugar maple in the backyard lost two large branches in a storm. Here is a picture of the tree and the point where the branches were ripped off.
Hope you enjoyed the oak tour, please check back for more posts about conservation and environmental topics. Thank you for reading!
