Description
Introducing the Northern Red Oak (Botanical Name: Quercus Rubra). This majestic tree is a symbol of strength and beauty in any landscape, boasting a picturesque pyramidal shape and stunning red fall color.
Thriving in full sun and regular watering, the Northern Red Oak prefers moist, well-draining soil and is well-suited for zones 3 to 8. Its loosely pyramidal growth habit adds an artistic touch to any garden or landscape.
Despite its large size, reaching heights of up to 70 feet with a matching spread, the Northern Red Oak is surprisingly fast-growing for an oak species. Its adaptability and toughness make it an excellent choice for larger landscapes where its beauty can truly shine.
In spring, the Northern Red Oak displays dark green foliage that emerges with a hint of rose, creating a vibrant contrast against the landscape. However, it's in the fall when this tree truly dazzles, with its spiny lobed leaves turning a magnificent antique red, adding a splash of color to the autumn scenery.
While the Northern Red Oak may produce acorns that can be messy in the landscape, occasional clean-up is a small price to pay for the beauty and grandeur this tree brings to any garden or landscape setting. Plus the wild life will help with the clean up by eatting the acorns. Consider adding the Northern Red Oak to your outdoor space and enjoy its timeless elegance for years to come.
