Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Scarlet Oak - Quercus coccinea
Few deciduous trees command a landscape the way Quercus coccinea does in autumn. Its foliage transitions to an intense, saturated scarlet, one of the most striking seasonal displays available in advanced stock. A long-lived specimen that earns its place on any serious property.
Why Scarlet Oak
Exceptional autumn colour: Delivers deep crimson to vivid scarlet tones with consistency year after year.
Classic oak structure: Strong upright form with a broad, layered canopy that reads well at scale.
Substantial shade coverage: Mature canopy spread provides meaningful cooling across large open areas.
Seasonal versatility: Fresh mid-green foliage through spring and summer; dramatic colour through autumn.
Generational asset: A long-lived species that compounds in presence and property value over time.
Ideal Applications
Landmark specimen planting: Commands attention as a singular feature within estate or residential landscapes.
Avenue and row planting: Repeated planting creates dramatic seasonal corridors on large properties and developments.
Lawn and open space shade: Scale and canopy structure suit expansive turf areas requiring defined overhead cover.
Park and prestige estate design: A natural fit for large-scale architectural landscape projects demanding year-round presence.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 10 to 15m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to early spring
Soil & Drainage: Well-drained, acidic to neutral soils; tolerates sandy and clay soils but dislikes waterlogging or highly alkaline conditions
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly during the first two to three years to establish a strong root system, particularly through dry summers. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the trunk.
