Description
The Royal Oak is an iconic symbol of England and for good reason. This magnificent native tree can live for over 600 years so will give pleasure across generations. It has lovely distinct-shaped lobed leaves. The Oak grows little green acorns which appear in summer and turn a golden brown in autumn. These little acorn cups are beloved by children and have been traditionally in play. Suitable for large gardens and parkland; it is a slow grower with a wonderful history.
“A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit”.
Fully hardy, the Oak grows best in sun or semi-shade and likes deep well-drained soil.
Height and Spread at Maturity: 20+ metres x 10+m
