Red Oak Tree
A classic, long-lived shade tree valued for its strength, symmetry, and brilliant fall color. The Red Oak features a broad, rounded crown with sturdy branches and rich green foliage that turns vibrant red in autumn.
Our Red Oaks are field-grown for strong, natural structure — never sheared or forced — allowing for steady, upright growth and full canopy development. Each tree is monitored to maintain a single, dominant leader, promoting a straight trunk and uniform form. This approach ensures trees establish quickly and mature into tall, healthy specimens suitable for residential, commercial, and street plantings.
The Red Oak adapts well to a variety of soil types and is known for its fast growth rate, durability, and impressive landscape presence.
Quercus rubra
The Red Oak is a fast-growing, deciduous tree native to North America. It typically reaches 60–75 feet in height with a broad, rounded canopy. The leaves are dark green in summer, turning brilliant red in fall. Red Oaks grow best in well-drained, slightly acidic soils and prefer full sun. They are commonly used in large landscapes, parks, and streetscapes for their shade and strong branching structure.
