The hardy and majestic native Cherrybark Oak Tree (Quercus pagoda) is a mighty forest tree that supports an incredible amount of wildlife among its immense branches!
Growing tall, straight, and symmetrical, this fast-growing Shade Tree in the Red Oak family fills out its broad, round crown with glossy, dark green foliage. Growing 80 - 120 feet at maturity, the 30 - 60 feet wide strong branching fills out in gorgeous green pointed lobed foliage!
The fall color is yellowish-brown and drops in winter, unlike some Oaks that hold onto their foliage. The orange-brown acorns with scaly caps ripen from September to November, the local squirrel population will adore your yard! Other wildlife and songbirds will adore these trees for their broad nesting limbs and dense shelter.
Beautiful all winter, Cherry Bark Oaks are named for the mature bark that resembles a cherry tree and radiates warmth against the winter snow. Incredible legacy trees, these Oaks are easy to grow and become prominent specimens in the forest and landscape in USDA growing zones 6 to 9.
Planting and Application:
Cherrybark Oaks are beneficial street trees and shade trees and are mighty specimens for large areas. If you have a large yard, a single tree will become an outstanding lawn planting and provide your home and landscape with their cooling shade! Save energy and reduce cooling costs by planting these great trees to shade your home from the sun.
Plant these Oaks in groups or in windbreaks and shelterbelts to provide naturalized spaces. Hunters love how turkey and deer are drawn to the fall harvest of nuts, and birdwatchers enjoy the plethora of songbirds that arrive to nest and take shelter among the strong limbs. Groupings also help with these wind-pollinated trees to set a larger harvest.
These legacy trees are long-lived and ideal memorial plantings! Celebrate a milestone birthday, anniversary, or a wedding tree planting ceremony, or memorialize a loved one who has passed with a majestic tree to remember them by.
- Tall, Straight, Wide & Symmetrical
- Pointed Lobed Green Leaves
- Enormous Crown is Ideal Shelter, Cover, Food & Shade
- Warm Brown Late-Season Acorns
- Long-Lived Legacy Tree & Memorial Gift Tree
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Oak Trees grow best in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic sites, but are adaptable to drier sites in full sun to partial shade. New trees appreciate regular moisture until they are established, but once they are you will only need to water them during drastic drought conditions. Plant new trees with the life-long symbiotic relationship of Nature Hills Root Booster and regular fertilizer. Top the soil around the drip line beneath the canopy with a 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch. Prune in late winter to correct branching and remove winter dieback.
- Full Sun At Maturity & Can Handle Part Shade When Young
- Must Have Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Moist Water Requirements
- Mulch Well When Young
- Prune in Late Winter
- Hardy Native Deciduous Tree
