Cherrybark Oak (Swamp Red Oak, Elliott's Oak)

Plant in rich, moist, well-drained, slightly acidic bottomland or bluff soil in full sun; cherrybark oak is generally regarded as one of the finest and most beautiful of all North American oaks — a majestic timber tree reaching 80–120 feet with a straight, clear trunk and distinctive shaggy, plated bark reminiscent of black cherry (hence the name). The deeply lobed, very large leaves have outstanding scarlet to orange-red fall color. The abundant small acorns are a critical food source for deer, turkeys, wood ducks, and squirrels. Unlike many red-group oaks, cherrybark oak is intolerant of flooding and requires the rich, well-drained ridges and terraces of bottomland hardwood forests — the 'cherrybark ridges' of bottomland forest. It is the fastest-growing of the large southern oaks (4–5 feet per year when young) and develops into an impressively large, long-lived specimen tree. Спосіб посадки: Посів у відкритий ґрунт Відстань між рослинами: 480–720 дюймів Висота: 720–1440 дюймів Дні до схожості: 21–60 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 10–18°C
