Quercus coccinea (Scarlet Oak)

Quercus coccinea, commonly known as Scarlet Oak, is a large, long-lived deciduous tree valued for its strong structure and outstanding autumn colour. It develops a broad, rounded canopy that provides excellent shade and makes it a striking feature in large landscapes.

Most admired for its brilliant scarlet-red autumn foliage, this hardy oak is durable, adaptable, and easy to grow once established. It is ideal for parks, large gardens, and avenue planting where seasonal colour and long-term structure are desired.
