Oaks are magnificent shade trees. They have distinctive leaf and growth forms. The fruits are acorns, which are highly attractive to wildlife. Several selections do well in our soils and climate. They are a little more expensive to buy, but rarely are they disappointing. Many kinds are large shade trees with a mature height of 50 to 70 feet.
For more information on the cost of buying an oak tree please see PlantTalk script "Oak trees."
