Southern Red Oak Tree β Fast-Growing & Drought-Tolerant Shade Tree
• The Southern Red Oak Tree (Quercus falcata) is a magnificent shade tree known for its resilience, fast growth, and stunning red fall foliage. Native to the southeastern United States, this tough, drought-tolerant oak thrives in poor, sandy, or clay soils, making it a reliable choice for landscapes in hot and dry climates. Its deeply lobed, glossy green leaves create a beautiful summer canopy before transforming into brilliant shades of red and orange in autumn. The Southern Red Oak is an excellent option for homeowners and landowners looking to add a long-lasting, low-maintenance tree that provides both beauty and function.
• When planted with Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Packs, Soil Moist Transplant Mix, Max Growth Tree Shelters, and Weed Pro Weed Mats, the Southern Red Oak establishes quickly and thrives for generations, providing shade, seasonal color, and wildlife benefits.
