Since the beginning of my landscape career, I have been a big fan of red oaks. The foliage is beautiful, fall color is often terrific, and they grow pretty fast for quality trees - but there’s one little problem sometimes. Red oaks, even more than other oaks, like to crossbreed. Thinking about this issue got me to review the current Library entry and I realized it needed some updating. Besides the crossbreeding issue, there is also some plant name confusion. So here is the update for you. Join the Organic Club of America today and receive:
