Oak-Northern Red 1.75"B

Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra) is a majestic native shade tree featuring rich green, deeply lobed foliage that transforms into beautiful shades of brilliant red and russet in autumn, complemented by a strong trunk and a broad, rounded canopy at maturity. Thriving in full sun with moderately moist, well-drained, preferably acidic soil, this impressive oak is an excellent choice for spacious lawns, parks, and large residential landscapes throughout central Illinois. Northern Red Oak offers excellent cold hardiness, relatively fast growth for an oak, and valuable food and habitat for wildlife, providing generations of dependable shade and seasonal beauty when planted in suitable soil conditions.
