Quercus rubra

Northern Red Oak

This long-lived, statuesque shade tree has a relatively fast growth rate. As new leaves unfurl, they are reddish while mature leaves are shiny dark green, deeply lobed with a distinct point. Fall brings color from russet-red to bright red. Nursery production techniques in fertilization and root pruning have made the oak easier to transplant and given it faster growth and acorn production rates.
