The English Oak tree is a well-known stately shade tree with a broad spreading habit and short, thick trunk.
A majestic tree and an excellent feature for larger properties and parks, however, can be used effectively in urban areas where there is space to reach its full potential.
Considered to be one of the most valuable timber trees.
After purchasing these beauties in a juvenile state from award-winning Fleming’s Nurseries in Melbourne, they have been grown and nurtured at Winwood Advanced Tree nursery in Gordon, Victoria.
