It is very shade tolerant and can grow easily under canopy created by older trees. The Sugar Maple is very drought tolerant, long-lived, and grows best in deep, fertile, well-drained soils.

Black Oak The Black Oak tree, Quercus velutina, is very similar in appearance to the Red Oak. It is sometimes called yellow oak, quercitron, yellowbark oak, or smoothbark oak. This deciduous tree has deeply furrowed bark and on mature trees is nearly black. The characteristic inner bark is bright yellow to orange, hence the alternate common name of Yellow Oak. This moderately growing oak tree grows on dry uplands, slopes and ridges. The wood, while hard and strong is not tough. It generally is inferior to that of the Red Oak. Still, it is used in much the same ways. The green leaves have a notably velvety underside.
