Oak
Oak Tree
A tall, sprawling tree which is particularly rare to come by. Oak grows very, very slowly and yields more wood when cut - but are often used for ornamental purposes rather than utility. Contrary to popular belief oakenwood tools/items do NOT yield any durability bonuses. The wood itself for all purposes is identical to pine, except some may favor items created from it as a luxury or a sign of wealth. Oak sprouts very rarely, sometimes once a month and is known to take several months to reach old age. Oak trees will also kill trees around it due to it's thick foliage blocking the sunlight. If your planting an Oak, you need to leave 2 tiles of grass between it and other trees.
MR-H is known to contain several sprawling Oak forests, despite their phenomenal growth time and rarity. The Western edge of the Wilds also contains a few clusters of Oak trees.
