“Oak is always going to be the most popular.”

“We do tend to have more issues with the oaks. We have a lot of oak trees that are 100 to 150 years old, and oaks typically begin breaking down in the 150- to 200-year-old range, although there are always exceptions to that.”
John Punches
“Faith sees a beautiful blossom in a bulb, a lovely garden in a seed, and a giant oak in an acorn.”
William Arthur Ward
“Let me look upward into the branches of the flowering oak and know that it grew great and strong because it grew slowly and well.”
Wilfred Peterson
“And many strokes though with a little axe hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak.”
William Shakespeare
“The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier”
Sir Walter Scott
“The mistletoe hung in the castle hall, / The holly branch shone on the old oak wall.”
Thomas Haynes Bayly
