6"-12". This oak thrives in rich, well-drained soils and is commonly found throughout Wisconsin. The Red Oak can reach heights of 60 to 75 ft in full or partial sun. Fall brings a display of russet-red colors. The acorns of the red oak, larger than those of any other oak, are very bitter but savored by wildlife. The wood of the red oak group has similar properties to that of white oaks but is much more porous and less resistant to decay.
