Oak is a tree for large garden or parkland it can ultimately reach 25 meter. Grow in full sun or dappled shade, in moist, well drained soil. Be sure to add plenty of organic matter to the planting hole, such as well rotted manure or garden compost. Oak trees do not need pruning, just remove any broken or crossing branches in autumn or winter. If you are growing Quercus robur as a hedge, trim in summer to keep it to the desired size. Often found growing in woodland or as a lone majestic tree within a landscape. The lobed leaves are fresh green in summer, turning yellow and brown in autumn before falling. In spring, yellow catkins are produced and in autumn, acorns (fruits) fall to the ground. An oak tree can live to be 1,000 years old.
