Summary

Quercus robur, commonly known as English Oak, is a large deciduous tree native to deciduous forests, mixed woodlands, and hedgerows across Europe and into Western Asia. It is renowned for its longevity and sturdy nature, with some specimens living for centuries. Mature trees can reach impressive sizes, with a typical height of 66 to 130 feet (20 to 40 meters) and a spread of 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 meters). The Majesty Oak, with a circumference of 12.2 meters (40 feet), is the thickest tree in Great Britain, while the Kaive Oak in Latvia, at 10.2 meters (33 feet), is the thickest in Northern Europe. English Oak has a broad and spreading crown with a robust trunk. Its leaves are lobed and its bark is deeply fissured with age. The tree produces inconspicuous yellowish-green catkins in mid-spring, followed by the well-known acorns that ripen by mid-autumn.

The English Oak is valued for its majestic appearance, dense canopy, and historical significance. It is often used in large landscapes, parks, and as a heritage tree in gardens. It provides habitat and food for a wide range of wildlife. This oak prefers full sun but is adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, though it thrives best in well-drained loamy soils. It is relatively low-maintenance once established but can be susceptible to oak wilt and powdery mildew. Due to its potential invasiveness, caution is advised when planting Quercus robur outside its native range.CC BY-SA 4.0
