Plant a Tree

Quercus robur is a large, slow growing native tree with a stout trunk and a round, fairly low canopy when it is grown in the open. 

Native Oaks are probably the single best tree for supporting wildlife. Their leaves are eaten by more types of caterpillar than any other British tree, and the deeply ridged bark of the old trees is an excellent home for many other insects. 

The acorns are a rich source of energy for larger animals that are trying to fatten up during autumn. 

Oak leaves are distinctive, with irregular, wavy lobes. They turn brown and muddy yellow in autumn, which makes a good backdrop for other trees with more vivid autumn colour. The short strings of flowers are inconspicuous, appearing at the same time as the new leaf shoots. The flowers develop into green acorns that take over a year to mature and turn brown, usually leaving behind the little "cup" that attached them to the tree when they fall.

T&C Please understand once you have planted up, it is no longer our responsibility for your plant to grow, even though all our plants are health as they leave the nursery we cannot guarantee they will take to your environment. 

All our Royal, Lady, Male, and native ferns are posted via Royal Mail. (please note the fern fronds will be cut for postage). This will not damage the plant in any way and you will get a second display later in year or the following February onwards depending on climate.
