English Oak

Forestry tree used for public and large gardens and for reforestation. Its wood is used in carpentry, cabinet-making industry, in indoor designing and as firewood or to produce coal. The acorns feed animals.

Deciduous tree growing up to 40m with green-yellowish flowers in close formation. Long, lobbed near sessile leaves. The acorn is brown with a long peduncle.

Prefers loose, cool, deep and slightly humid soils.

Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction. Cut possible broken roots. Mix the soil extracted with a substrate and fill part of the hole with the mixture obtained. Place the plant in the hole and cover with the remaining mixture. Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
