Quercus coccinea
Common Name: Scarlet Oak
Scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea) is a large deciduous tree whose deeply lobed leaves can turn vivid red in autumn. An open, rounded crown provides shade while giving the seasonal foliage room to show.
Its structure combines upright growth and an open canopy. Growth is fast. The leaves are shed for winter. Autumn foliage can bring red tones.
Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide acidic, well-drained soil.
