The Quercus coccinea is a US native and this mighty tree is the perfect choice for adding structure and colour to a large garden. This tree offers lustrous green leaves which turn to glowing shades of scarlet in autumn and cover the broad crown from spring until late autumn. The acorns of the Scarlet Oak are also of interest; they are carried in shallow cups and are highly unusual. This hardy Oak will grow strong and tall so make sure you give it the space that it needs to thrive.
