The Gardens

Quercus rubrum / Red Oak

11/1/13
I planted a skinny, 5 foot tall whip in summer 2012.

I got it at Home Depot in a 5 gallon pot.

It is planted in the yard, on the east side of the house, next to the line of dappled willows.

It will become a large tree, I hope it is far enough away from the house.

Even as a very young tree, it gets good fall color.


During 2015 it grew well and it colored spectacularly, a good clear red. It's fun to watch this fast growing tree take off.
In summer - 7/3/15 - and in fall, 10/29/15
