Why do Pin oaks have bright green leaves?
As the Pin Oak is most comonly found in areas in which sunlight is plentiful, this means that it requires less chlorphyll to capture and store sunlight. Thus, as a result the Pin Oak has bright green leaves rather than dark green leaves which is the case for trees situated in rainforests where they struggle to capture the sun’s light (the darker a leaf is the more chlorophyll it has).
