The mostly smooth leaf of the red oak is four to ten inches long. The lobes taper to a pointed tip. The bark of the trunk is dark and furrowed. The lumber is close-grained and highly valued.

The large, round acorns vary in size and shape from tree to tree. They have a shallow cap. Here some of them have been used to create figures representing musicians.
