Description | Northern red oak (Quercus rubra), also known as champion oak, is a medium sized, deciduous tree. The leaves are dark green, turning red in the fall. It is a favorite choice for parks. They are durable and long-living, often used for lumber. Its lumber makes a good veneer or firewood. This tree provides habitat for wildlife and will start producing acorns at about 20 years of age. Northern red oak is a good pasture tree but needs to be guarded when young. | |
