Quercus robur – European oak, English oak, Common oak
Oaks are close relatives of beech trees, and both are strong forest trees that can grow very old and impressive in size. Willows, alders and many others don’t stand a chance against this king of the forest. In a close forest, the tree’s character will be tall and slender, but oaks really shine on the open field, where the will form a dome shape with strong branches.
