Description
Quercus robur, commonly known as the English Oak, is one of the most iconic and long-lived native British trees. Renowned for its strength, longevity, and broad spreading crown, it makes a magnificent specimen for parks, estates, and large gardens.
Fresh green lobed leaves emerge in spring, forming a dense canopy through summer before turning warm yellow-brown tones in autumn. Acorns develop in autumn, providing valuable food for wildlife. With its impressive stature and ecological importance, the English Oak supports a wide range of birds, insects, and mammals.
Extremely hardy and adaptable, Quercus robur thrives in a variety of soil types and tolerates exposed conditions once established.
Supplied as a standard tree with 8-10cm girth in a 45-litre pot, approximately 3–3.5m in height, this well-established young oak provides immediate structure and long-term landscape value.
