Quercus robur, commonly known as the English Oak, is a large, deciduous tree native to Europe and parts of Asia. Typically growing 20 to 40 meters tall, it has a broad, spreading canopy with deeply lobed, dark green leaves that turn yellow or brown in the autumn. The tree produces small, inconspicuous flowers in spring, followed by acorns that are a vital food source for wildlife. Quercus robur thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, and is highly tolerant of various soil types. Known for its strength and longevity, it is widely used for timber, landscaping, and as a symbol of strength.
