I know the coloration is green for the leaves and brown for the trunk, but are oak trees fructed by default or does that need to be specifically specified.  I am betting the later, but I honestly do no know for sure.  If they are fructed I believe the default coloration for the acorns would be Or.

I, unfortunately, do not have access to the original emblazon to look at as I would actually like.
