Quercus rubra (Q rubra), commonly known as the Northern Red Oak tree, is a deciduous tree that features very colourful and lush foliage. The foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to dark green, then changes to impressive shades of red-brown in autumn before falling. Small, yellow-green flowers in spring produce brown acorns in autumn. The Northern Red Oak tree typically grows to 18 m tall and 10 m wide with a somewhat conical and open growth habit. Quercus rubra is commonly grown as a specimen in large gardens and parks, and is also well suited to avenue planting or growing anywhere the beautiful autumn colours can be appreciated.

Quercus rubra Details

Quercus rubra (Q rubra), commonly known as the Northern Red Oak tree, is a deciduous tree that features very colourful and lush foliage. The foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to dark green, then changes to impressive shades of red-brown in autumn before falling. Small, yellow-green flowers in spring produce brown acorns in autumn. The Northern Red Oak tree typically grows to 18 m tall and 10 m wide with a somewhat conical and open growth habit. It performs best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun, and is tolerant of frost, cool climates, heavy soils, and some wind. Quercus rubra is commonly grown as a specimen in large gardens and parks with the added advantage of fantastic summer shade. It is also well suited to avenue planting or growing anywhere the beautiful autumn colours can be appreciated.
