I'm not sure about capitalizing all of these tree names. I referred to Oak when I first wrote them un-capitalized, as that is how they appear there. If there is a policy to capitalize the names, that article needs work as well. Nathan 19:47, 2 May 2004 (UTC)

There isn't a current hard-and-fast policy, but the majority preference as discussed on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life is for capitalisation of individual species names (e.g. European Beech), but not for generic citations (e.g. beeches, oaks) - MPF 15:35, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
