Learn About Your New Quercus robur (English Oak)
The English Oak is a large, long-lived deciduous tree, valued for its broad, spreading canopy, dense shade, and acorn production. A statement tree for expansive landscapes, it thrives in parks, estates, large gardens, streetscapes, and avenue plantings. With a wide, structured growth habit, deeply ridged, weathered bark, and strong, well-developed branching, this tree is built for longevity, impact, and resilience. Highly drought-tolerant once established, it adapts to various soil types, making it an ideal choice for low-maintenance, high-performance landscapes.
