Quercus petraea

£2.00£3.50 inc. VAT

The Sessile Oak is one of two UK native oak species. It replaces Q.robur in damper and upland areas, but the two are very similar. A good tree in coastal areas. The large long stalked leaves of Q petraea  are not auricled at the base and the stalkless fruits differentiate it from Q.robur. A good tree in coastal areas. Acorns tend to sprout earlier than Q robur too.
