Red Oak, otherwise known as Quercus rubra, is a beautiful deciduous tree that brings scale, structure and brilliant autumnal colour to landscapes. Known for its broad canopy and vibrant scarlet foliage in autumn, this North American native has become a popular feature tree in larger UK gardens and parks.
In spring and summer, the large, lobed leaves are a fresh, deep green, creating a lush, shady canopy. As the season changes, the foliage turns a fiery red to russet, often holding its colour well into late autumn – Red Oak is a real showstopper against a clear autumn sky.
Quercus rubra is a fast-growing tree with a strong, upright habit, eventually forming a rounded, spreading crown. Red Oak is ideal for making a statement in spacious gardens, lining avenues, or planting in open areas where it has room to reach its full potential.
Quercus rubra performs well in moist, fertile, well-drained soil and prefers a sunny position. Red Oak is also fully hardy and can tolerate urban conditions once established, making it surprisingly adaptable for such a grand tree.
If you’re looking for a bold, long-lived tree with stunning seasonal colour and impressive stature, the Red Oak is a brilliant choice.
