Quercus robur (Common Oak, English Oak)
Common name: Common Oak, English Oak
Species: Quercus robur
Cultivar:
Perhaps the most majestic of our native trees, the English or Common Oak was once the predominant species in English lowland forests and has become virtually a national emblem.
Very enduring, its hard timber has been used to produce the finest furniture, ships and even coffins!
A large, imposing, broadly oval tree, heavy-limbed and long-lived.
Its deeply grained bark gives year-round appeal, and its expansive root system does best on deep, heavy soils.
A wonderful choice for parkland and large estates, it is also good in avenues and wide verges.
Mature height: 20m+
