Quercus rubra

Fast growing and aggressive, this oak can put on up to 2 feet of growth per year as it attains it’s stately, full, rounded form. Rubra is very tolerant of dry, sandy soils and tends to be an excellent yard tree for near the road. Big, lustrous, dark green leaves turn russet-red to bright red in the fall and tend to be persistent for a great autumn show.
