Oaks are tall, stately trees renowned for their relatively fast growth: they often add 2' to their height in the first 10 years of growth! These minimal maintenance trees will conform to their conditions, growing taller rather than wider if cramped and seizing the opportunity to spread out. The leaves are dark green on top with a dull green underside. Their fall colors range from bright to muted shades of yellow, red, and bronze. Their leaves persist longer than many deciduous trees, providing cover for animals, and the twigs are used as nesting materials by both birds and mammals. In short, oak trees thrive in various conditions and are important to a healthy ecosystem.Most importantly, oak trees are a haven for many animals, especially birds and insects. They provide nooks and cavities for bats, tree squirrels, woodpeckers, and other birds to build nests and dens, and they are especially considered the most valuable host tree for butterflies and moths. Indeed, they support more species—534, to be exact—than any other native or nonnative tree. The insect life they support helps feed practically all species of songbirds, which need nutrient-rich caterpillars to feed their young. And more than 100 vertebrate species in the USA eat acorns, including bluejays, crows, wood ducks, squirrels, and rabbits.Many oak tree species live 200 years or more. Plant an oak tree today for your grandchildren and to support wildlife populations. As the adage goes, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is today.We sell Red, White, and Pin oaks.
