Quercus rubra | 1-year seedlings, 10–24"
Northern red oak is a native hardwood commonly used in reforestation projects, wildlife habitat plantings, and forest management efforts. Typically growing 60 to 80 feet tall, it performs best on well-drained upland sites and is valued for both its timber quality and wildlife benefits. Its acorns serve as an important food source for birds, deer, and other wildlife, while mature trees provide valuable cover and habitat.
