20 Quercus robur Bonsai Seeds - English Oak Tree

Quercus robur Seeds

Common Name: English Oak Tree

English Oak, as its name implies, is an Oak tree native to England (or more accurately Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia), and therefore is not a tree native to South Africa. It is similar in leaf appearance to White Oak, but does not have its spreading majesty with age or its reddish foliage color in autumn. It can grow to 42 meter tall with a rounded spread of 24 meter or more, though under landscape conditions in urban environments, it may reach 15 meter tall and 15 meter wide.

English oak has small deciduous leaves. They remain deep green long into autumn before turning brown and then persisting on the tree well into winter.

As a member of the White Oak group and the Beech Family, it is related to the Beeches, Chestnuts, and other Oaks.

English Oak, in spite of being an imported species of Oak, adapts well to the tough conditions of South Africa.

It prefers moist, well-drained, moderately rich soils of variable pH, but adapts very well to moderately dry soils of poor quality. It thrives in full sun to partial sun, but is shade tolerant in youth.
