1 Bare Root Northern Red Oak Tree 12" Quercus rubra Shade Tree

Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra) is a long-lived deciduous shade tree valued for its broad, rounded canopy and dependable seasonal color. New foliage emerges with a reddish tint before maturing to deep green, then shifts to rich russet and red tones in fall, making it a striking specimen for larger yards, parks, and naturalistic plantings.
Often used as a shade tree, a landscape focal point, or part of a mixed deciduous planting, it also supports wildlife and produces acorns that feed birds and small mammals where allowed. Its straight trunk, sturdy branching, and spreading crown give it a strong, enduring structure over time. It performs best in deep, well-drained soil and makes a rewarding long-term planting for those with space to accommodate its mature size.
