Learn More:
A large species and long-lived Oak, English Oak-Quercus robur, features a broadly rounded spreading habit and short trunk. The acorns are a valuable food source for several small mammals and some birds, but trees may take up to 20 years to produce fruit. There are trees that are over one-thousand years old! This specimen is an important source of hard and durable wood used chiefly in construction, furniture, and shipbuilding. The smoky flavor or aroma characteristic of its wood make it suitable for making barrels to age wine.
