Oak, Northern Red

Quercus rubra

Also known as the Northern Red Oak, this shade tree is beautiful and artistic with a picturesque loosely pyramidal habit of growth. It has dark green foliage which emerges rose in spring. The spiny lobed leaves turn an outstanding indian red in the fall. This tree will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. Requires full sun and prefers moist soil.
