Quercus rubra maxima, American Oak, Red American Oak, North Red Oak

Quercus rubra Maxima, commonly known as the Red American Oak, is a large, deciduous tree featuring colourful foliage. This spectacular Red American Oak typically grows to 18 m tall and 10 m wide with a somewhat conical, open growth habit. The foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to dark green, then changes to an impressive red-brown in autumn before falling. Small, yellow-green flowers in spring produce brown acorns in autumn. Quercus rubra Maxima is ideal for large gardens and parks, for street and avenue planting, as a shade tree, or for planting anywhere the beautiful autumn colours can be appreciated.

Quercus rubra Maxima Details

Quercus rubra Maxima, commonly known as the Red American Oak, is a large, deciduous tree featuring colourful foliage. This spectacular Red American Oak typically grows to 18 m tall and 10 m wide with a somewhat conical, open growth habit. The foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to dark green, then changes to an impressive red-brown in autumn before falling. Small, yellow-green flowers in spring produce brown acorns in autumn. It grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, semi-sheltered position, and is tolerant of frost, cold environments, urban pollution, and dry periods. Quercus rubra Maxima is ideal for large gardens and parks, for street and avenue planting, as a shade tree, or for planting anywhere the beautiful autumn colours can be appreciated.
