And though only a small percentage of the oak forests remain, the oaks are still one of Iowa's leading commercial timber crops. Oaks are used as construction lumber, railroad ties, fuel, fence posts, mine props, flooring, furniture, ships and boats, tool handles, railroad cars, interior trim, barrels and kegs. The legislation naming the Iowa state tree did not specify a particular variety of oak tree. Among the 60 or so species of oak, 13 are native to the state of Iowa. Because a certain species of oak was not named, any species can be considered the Iowa state tree. Perhaps because it is so widely distributed throughout the state, the bur oak ( Quercus macrocarpa ) is the species often identified as the state tree. According to Chris Feeley at The Department of Natural Resources Ecology and Management, the bur oak is the only native oak that is found in all Iowa counties. In the late 1800s, the bur oak was selected as the most typical tree of Iowa for planting in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.
