Red Oak Seed

Quercus rubra (borealis)

£6.00 inc. VAT

Red Oak is a large fast growing deciduous tree with large matt, oval, lobed leaves that turn red and then russet brown before leaf fall in the autumn. It requires a lime free rich soil and doesn’t do very well in shade. Makes a superb specimen tree. Pollution tolerant, but unsuitable for town planting because it needs sunshine.
