“A Hardy Landscape Tree”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The northern red oak (Quercus rubra<\/em>) is a fast-growing and long-living tree known for its beautiful red fall color, value to wildlife and status as the state tree of New Jersey. Called \u201cone of the handsomest, cleanest and stateliest trees in North America\u201d by naturalist Joseph S. Illick, the northern red oak is widely considered a national treasure. This tree is valued for its adaptability and hardiness in urban settings. The northern red oak is also one of the most important oaks for timber production; used for furniture, flooring, and veneer. It is native to most regions of the U.S. near and east of the Mississippi River, excluding the Deep South.<\/p>\n
