6 to 12" bareroot seedlings
(Growth rate- medium)
This oak tree 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. It is used for general construction, railroad ties, furniture, interior finish, and flooring.
Seedlings must be picked up at the Kenosha County Center on delivery day, usually in late-April. Notice will be emailed approximately two weeks in advance.
