Quercus robur, known as the pedunculate oak, is a tall, enduring deciduous tree featuring a wide, rounded canopy. Its robust leaves are a rich green that shifts to a warm reddish-khaki in autumn. This tree is easily identified by its short leaf stalks and acorns borne on distinctive stems. Thriving best in deep, clay-rich lowland soils, it produces subtle male catkins and small female flowers, followed by uniquely knobbly acorns. An excellent choice for adding lasting beauty and character to your landscape.

The English oak is essential for supporting wildlife, offering food for many insects and birds and serving as a crucial winter refuge for jays, badgers, and squirrels. Its fallen leaves encourage a rich variety of insects and fungi. In dry spells, the oak may take on a distinctive "stag-head" look, focusing growth at the top while remaining healthy overall. This tree is a valuable addition to any natural environment.
