*All burlap and basket trees are 450+ lbs and will require heavy equipment to move.

The Northern red oak, native to the Midwest, stands out as one of the faster growing oak species for residential landscapes. Its foliage remains attractive year-round, starting with a pinkish-red hue, transitioning to a glossy dark green in summer, and culminating in a vibrant russet-red to bright red during autumn. Its ability to withstand salt and air pollution renders it a suitable choice for more open and exposed environments.
