England's Heart of Oak - Autumn / Fall
Plant Gallery

England's Heart of Oak - There was a time not too long ago when it
was possible to go from one side of England to the other
without hardly having to touch the ground or come down from such
magnificent specimens. Three planted where one could grow here, the
foliage is similar to what one tree will produce, but you get three
trunks (skinnier) instead of one. This trick works with many tree species
and actually shows the trees in the way they are adapted to be in the
wild.The idea of oaks being venerable old
spreading trees is usually the result of man's planting them without
much nearby competition and then protecting the older specimens. In
natural forest condition, oaks are skinnier and more upright trees with
no-where near the life-span that we think of them as having.
