Description:
The Quercus coccinea, commonly known as the Scarlet Oak, is a deciduous tree celebrated for its striking fall foliage. It is a fast-growing shade tree with a robust structure, featuring leathery leaves with deep lobes and bristle tips. This oak produces large acorns that are a valuable food source for wildlife. It is adaptable to various soil types and can withstand periods of drought once established. The tree's open canopy and ridged, grey-brown bark add to its visual appeal. It is relatively free from significant pest or disease issues, making it a durable choice for landscapes. The Scarlet Oak is also recognized for its ecological benefits, supporting bird populations as part of Audubon's Plants for Birds program.
