Description
Quercus rubra - Red Oak; its claim to fame is its fiery Autumn foliage colour. Native to North America but widely planted in the British Isles since its introduction in the 1700?s and was awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1971. The timber has less value than its native cousin?s but it is still an aesthetically pleasing firewood crop or it can be used as a parkland tree.
The leaves are similar in shape and size to the native Oaks but they are more pointed and spiked in appearance.
Supplied in 2 litre pots. Approx 60/80cm tall
