Red Oak

The Red Oak is one of the best shade tree for Texas. The Red Oak has outstanding red and yellow fall foliage. In the summertime, the leaf is a dark green, 4" in diameter with jagged edges. It grows at an average of 1.5' to 2' per year. The only Red Oak we sell is the Shumard Red Oak.

It grows the tallest on moist, well-drained soils but is also adapted to drier limestone soils and high pH levels.

Shumard red oaks are never found in large groves but usually occur singly and far apart.
