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.
