Quercus robur
English Oak is an Asian and European native tree with a short wide sturdy trunk and a broad rounded spreading crown. It was brought to this country in the 1600s from Europe and has been an important lumber tree for furniture and shipbuilding. It's an excellent specimen tree for very large yards, parks and public areas. It prefers average well-drained soils in full sun but adapts to a wide range of soil types and conditions. It can take 20-30 years to bear acorns. In the wild, it is found in northern USA and Canada. Can be problematic in humid climates. Plant if full sun with good airflow to help reduce the problem.
English oak is considered to be a low-maintenance tree with few problems but powdery mildew can be significant in humid areas. Other cultivars may be more resistant to powdery mildew.
