Quercus robur, commonly known as English Oak or Pedunculate Oak, is a deciduous tree native to Europe and parts of Asia. It typically grows to heights of 20-40 meters with a broad, spreading crown. The leaves are oval to oblong, dark green above and paler beneath, with deeply lobed margins. Inconspicuous flowers appear in catkins in spring, followed by acorns that are a food source for wildlife. English Oak is often planted for timber production, wildlife habitat, and as an ornamental tree in parks, gardens, and landscapes. It prefers moist, well-drained soil.

Planting

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Loosen the soil around the planting area and carefully remove the tree from its container or burlap wrap, ensuring not to disturb the roots  excessively. Position the tree in the center of the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole with soil and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Care

Regular watering during the establishment period is essential. Pruning may be necessary to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches.
