noun
konara oak; pin oak
A deciduous oak native to East Asia, Quercus serrata. In English sometimes called pin oak, though that name more commonly refers to Quercus palustris.

The konara oak is a deciduous tree commonly seen in Japanese satoyama woodlands.
この森にはコナラやクヌギが多く生えている。

クヌギ (sawtooth oak, Quercus acutissima) is another common Japanese oak, often mentioned together with コナラ in woodland contexts.
The name コナラ (小楢) literally means 'small oak', from 小 (small) and 楢 (oak). The exact historical derivation is uncertain.
