The 'Cerris' is a fast- grower and will soon become a strong and majestic tree which will have a real presence. The Turkey Oak got its common name as it is a native of Turkey; it was introduced to the UK in 1735. This tree features large narrow deeply lobed leaves that are deep green in colour and cover the tree. As the tree grows and matures, it develops a real sense of character with its deeply ridged grey bark; the fissured bark is highly ornamental. This tree is a great choice for parkland planting and works well as part of a woodland planting theme. Ensure you give this tree enough space and sunlight to grow and thrive.
