Comments:
Has an upright form and makes it a valuable street tree. A long-lived tree that grows up to 100 feet tall and obtains a width of up to 80 feet. Fine texture for an oak. It is subject to wind damage due to shallow roots. Adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions. This red oak only produces acorns every two years and they are eaten by wildlife.
