Sessile oak suits large gardens, country hedges and woodland planting in well-drained acidic to neutral soil. We recommend it where conditions are drier or lighter than those preferred by pedunculate oak. Native, long-lived and exceptionally valuable to wildlife, it develops into a majestic tree. Growth is relatively slow, and its considerable mature size requires plenty of space.
Quercus petraea – Sessile Oak
Price range: 4,80 € through 18,00 €
A majestic native oak tree valued for its longevity, strong growth and ecological importance.
Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea) is a large long-lived native European oak appreciated for its elegant habit, strong timber qualities and ecological value. It develops a broad crown and robust trunk, making it one of the most important forest and landscape trees in Europe.
This species is well adapted to well-drained soils and generally tolerates drier conditions better than Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur). Its foliage turns attractive golden-brown shades in autumn before persisting partially into winter on young trees.
Sessile Oak is widely planted in parks, woodlands and large landscapes, where it provides exceptional longevity, biodiversity value and impressive ornamental presence.
