The Red Oak tree, or Quercus rubra, is a deciduous tree featuring glossy green foliage that turns hues of red and brown during the autumn season. This large specimen is a favorite for providing seasonal interest and shade. Here’s why Red Oak is the perfect addition to your landscape:

Appearance: Leaves appear green with a white underside during the spring season, and insignificant blooms appear. The foliage turns shades of red and brown in the fall and round, large acorns develop. The bark is smooth when the tree is young, but develops interesting furrows as the Red Oak ages. 

Sunlight: The Red Oak thrives in full sun to partial sun. 

Soil and Watering: Oak trees prefer sandy or loamy soil that is fertile and well-draining. They grow best when they are consistently moist and regular watering is required during its initial planting season. It is relatively drought tolerant once established. 

Hardiness: The Red Oak can grow in USDA hardiness zones 4-8. It is tolerant of urban pollution and is not fussy when transplanted. 

Landscape Use: Red Oak is planted for its ornamental value and does excellent as a shade tree, specimen, or in recreational areas. Many people enjoy the ecological benefits of this tree, as its acorns can be an important food source for birds, squirrels, and deer. 

Maintenance: This variety is low maintenance. Pruning should be avoided during the Red Oak’s first three years of establishment, but may be necessary as the tree ages. Removing branches that are overlapping or rubbing against each other can help prevent disease. 

The Red Oak is loved by gardeners for its ease of care, ability to provide shade, and for the miraculous display of red foliage in the fall. With this tree, you will surely add a sense of majesty to your landscape.
