Quercus Borealis Collection: Fast-Growing Red Oak Tree - A Stunning Addition to Any Landscape

Experience a kaleidoscope of brilliant fall colors with Quercus rubra, commonly known as Red Oak. This fast-growing, magnificent deciduous tree features an open, rounded to broad-spreading crown that adds a striking presence to any landscape. Its broad, lustrous dark green leaves are adorned with 7-11 toothed lobes, turning vibrant shades of russet-red to bright red in the autumn. In the spring, delicate yellow-green catkins appear as the leaves unfurl, adding a touch of charm to the already stunning foliage. Not only is Red Oak a feast for the eyes, but its branches and upper trunk also resemble ski trails, marked with long, pale gray longitudinal lines. The spring foliage emerges in a dusty bronze-red color, creating a burst of color that rivals even the most dazzling spring-flowering trees. What's more, Red Oak is among the first landscape oaks to ripen, providing a valuable food source for small mammals and birds with its plentiful acorns. Though it may take up to 40 years for the first crop of acorns to be produced, Red Oak is well worth the wait. This handsome, stately tree is highly adaptable and thrives in a variety of environments, including urban areas. Imagine this majestic tree as a focal point in your large garden or as a beautiful addition to your cityscape. With its stunning fall colors, interesting spring foliage, and importance to wildlife, Red Oak is an excellent choice as a specimen tree. Bring a touch of natural beauty to your surroundings with Red Oak.
