Tree Quercus rubra Red Oak

 

 

 

 
Description The red oak is a fast-growing, long-lived deciduous tree. Well structured, this tree grows straight and tall, developing a solid trunk and rounded top with age. Bark is grey-brown in colour and foliage is broad and glossy. In its native area, where winter temperatures are quite low, the dark green foliage turns a vibrant red colour. In Australia, leaves will be more likely to turn a maroon-red colour before falling.
