English Oak (Quercus robur)


Supporting more than 2,000 animal and fungi species

  • The English Oak tree is also commonly known as the ‘pedunculate oak’ because its acorns grow on a pedunculate, meaning that the acorn is the only thing growing on the stalk.
  • Oak trees shorten with age in order to live longer.
  • The oak’s long-lasting and durable wood has made it a popular choice for furniture and building work, and it is often planted for forestry.
