Plant details
Holder of the Royal Horticultural Society's prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM), this oak is familiar to anyone who knows the English countryside. It's thought that trees can grow to more than 1,000 years old and their huge silhouettes dominate the landscape. In the garden, they need to be given plenty of space. They enjoy any fertile, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. The lobed leaves clothe the bare branches from late May or June. Acorns appear in summer, turning brown before they fall to the ground in autumn when the leaves turn yellow and follow them.
