(English Oak) A large majestic tree, Quercus robur has dark green leaves and acorns in the autumn once established.

The leaves turn bronze and yellow as they fall in autumn. Mature trees are an excellent habitat for insects and other wildlife.

It is very long lived and the timber of good specimens is highly valued.

Formerly it was used in ship building and the New Forest in Hampshire was planted to support the ship building industry of Portsmouth & Southampton.

A distinctive native tree most suitable for areas with plenty of space.
