Common Oak



Large deciduous tree and probably our most common tree. It can grow to a height of 30-40m and can live 1000 years or more. It likes basic fertile soils (ph 4.5 - 7.5) including heavy soils. Mature trees tolerate flooding even by sea-water. Oaks are usually found in mixed woodland throughout Britain and Ireland and most of Western Europe and Asia Minor. Wines and spirits are matured in English Oak casks.
