Red oak seedling description

Scientifically known as Quercus rubra, the red oak has a natural habitat in the eastern United States ranging from southeast Canada south to Georgia and west to the Mississippi River. It is the most important oak, primarily used in timber production for use in flooring, furniture, and construction. It is most recognixed by it's dark, reddish brown bark that is deeply ridged, giving it the appearance of stripes. A fast grower, a 10 year old tree can be upwards to 20 feet tall under optimal growing conditions, with mature trees reaching a height between 60 and 75 feet. Also long living, the red oak is estimaed to live upwards to 500 years. Produces brilliant red foliage in the fall, and grows hardily in Zones 3-8.

Sold Out for the Season

Shipping begins mid-April once the frost is out of the ground. All plants are shipped bare root from my father's nursery in Midwestern Wisconsin. Please understand that commiting to a shipment date before this time frame just is not possible, however, if mother nature is kind and the ground thaws early then the trees will ship early. Every effort is made to ensure the plants you receive are healthy and ready to plant. However, it is impossible to guarantee planting results. Weather, soil conditions, insects and proper planting all play a part in successful growth.

We are not responsible for the plants health if you choose to order a plant that will simply not grow or survive in your area based on the pictured zone map. Please order responsibly.
