The Scarlet Oak, Quercus coccinea, is celebrated for its stunning autumnal foliage, turning a vivid scarlet that justifies its name. This deciduous tree is a magnificent sight in any landscape, particularly in autumn. It’s also valued for its hardy nature, thriving in a range of soil types including chalk, sand, and clay, and preferring moist but well-drained conditions. The Scarlet Oak is not only a visual delight but also plays a vital role in supporting local wildlife, with its acorns serving as a food source for various birds and mammals.
