Northern Red Oak is a rapid-growing, deciduous oak native to the eastern, midwestern and southeastern United States. It grows from low to middle elevations. The trees may reach 60-70 feet in the best native habitats. The crown is open and irregular. The bark is dark and thickened on old trees. The light green leaves are 4-9 inches in length, tapered at the tip, and lobed. The wood is reddish-brown and very hard. The acorns are rounded with a short beak, with a shallow and saucer-like cup.
This oak does well in ordinary garden soil.
These trees are grown from acorns collected in central Michigan. They are going into their fourth season.
