Description
English Oak is kind of my favorite Oak. Sorry Red Oak!! I have a few growing in the front field, planted maybe 30 years ago. They are beautiful, rounded canopy trees nearly a foot in diameter. The leaves are pretty darn cute too. Like a baby sized white oak leaf. The Woodland Trust has some good info. If you prefer other oaks we have them.
