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

Thumbnails: Spring | Summer | Autumn | Winter | Exotics | Snow

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.
