Southern Red Oak Tree (Quercus falcata) - 1 Gallon Pot
One of the faster growing of North American native oak trees, the Southern Red Oak can add up to 2 feet or so in height per year reaching 60 to 80 feet tall and 40 to 50 feet wide at maturity with a rounded crown. The large leaves up to 9 inches long come in two different types on the same tree. One has 3 to 5 irregularly shaped bristle-tipped lobes with the terminal lobe being longest. The other type is pear-shaped with 3 rounded lobes towards the end. The dark green leaves turn a reddish brown in fall. Insignificant flowers occur in spring in the form of catkins which are followed by small, rounded, copper-brown acorns wearing a light tan top cap. Young bark is smooth and light gray becoming deeply furrowed and dark grey with age. As is with most oak trees, the Southern Red Oak has many benefits to wildlife, supporting many species of butterflies, moths, birds and mammals. It is highly adaptable to most any soil type, including clay and poor soils, provided the site is well drained. It is very drought tolerant when established but will also tolerate occasionally flooding. This long-lived and no-maintenance oak is ideal for use as a large shade tree in residential areas and parks or in groupings or groves for forestation and reclamation projects. Its high tolerance of air pollution and poor soil makes it a good selection for urban areas. Get all the details below
