English Oak

This mighty tree is our national emblem and for good reason. With a lifespan from 200 years to over 1000 the English Oak has a rich history. Their leaves are identifiable by their deep lobes and smooth edges, their flowers are long yellow hanging catkins which spread pollen in the air. The fruits of an oak tree are a rich food source for wildlife and many acorns never manage to germinate as they are scooped up by squirrels and mice.

Please note: all our trees are 20 – 40cm in height, depending on the time of year they may arrive bare or with browning leaves. This is completely normal and they will perk back up in the warmer weather. Our cell grown saplings can be planted all year round if given the right care and attention.
