PLANT PROFILE

Quercus robur (English Oak) looks excellent as a majestic, long-lived shade tree with a broad, open crown that creates a timeless and elegant focal point in large parks, heritage gardens, and avenues. Its slow to moderate growth delivers a strong structural form that matures into a wide, symmetrical canopy offering generous shade and lasting presence.

With dark green to bluish-green lobed leaves that turn yellow-brown in autumn, this tree adds seasonal texture—enhanced by the retention of dead leaves through winter. The deeply furrowed dark grey bark adds visual interest year-round. English Oak’s acorns, borne singly or in small clusters on long stalks, support local wildlife and enrich garden biodiversity.

Performing best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soils, it tolerates wind, clay, and moderate drought once established. It looks excellent when planted with shade-tolerant understorey species or groundcovers that thrive in its dappled shade, creating layered, multi-season garden compositions. Low maintenance and deep watering during establishment make Quercus robur a practical, classic choice for enduring landscape impact.

  • Site Selection: Ensure the planting site can accommodate the mature size of the tree; ideal for open landscapes.
  • Soil Preparation: Although adaptable, enhancing the soil with organic matter helps establish a strong root system.
  • Planting: Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper, ensuring the root flare is at or just above soil level.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
