We’re back in New Zealand today to see more of Jill Hammond’s beautiful garden. She has spent the last 28 years transforming a 7.5-hectare (18.5-acre) piece of land in rural Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.

Oak Tree Leaves Identification, Benefits, and Uses – Learn to distinguish the subtle nuances of oak leaves, unlocking the door to a world of botanical wonders.
Identifying oak tree leaves can be a useful skill, as there are many oak species, each with its own leaf characteristics. Here are some common features to help you identify oak tree leaves:
Oak leaves are typically lobed, with rounded or pointed extensions that jut out from the central leaf vein. The number of lobes and their shape can vary among species. Some oaks have deeply lobed leaves, while others have leaves with shallow or rounded lobes.
Oak leaves often have smooth, wavy, or serrated (toothed) edges. The presence or absence of teeth and their shape can be a distinguishing feature.
Oak leaves are arranged alternately on the branches, meaning that one leaf is attached at each node along the stem rather than in pairs or opposite each other.
Oak leaves vary in size depending on the oak species. They can range from small and narrow to large and broad, but they are typically between 2 to 8 inches in length.
Oak leaves are usually green, but the shade of green can vary. Some oak species have leaves that are a bright, glossy green, while others may have duller or lighter green leaves.
Examining the underside of oak leaves can also be helpful. Some species have distinctive hairs, scales, or a lighter color on the underside.
Pay attention to the vein pattern on the leaves. Oaks typically have a network of prominent veins.
The type and appearance of acorns produced by the tree can also be a clue for identification, as different oak species produce acorns of various sizes and shapes.
It’s important to consider the overall appearance of the tree, including the bark, branching
