Sessile oak is large, long-lived deciduous tree native to most of Europe and is one of the most economically and ecologically important deciduous forest tree species.

Oak wood is highly durable and is valued for several purposes, including construction, furniture, veneer and fencing. In coppices, oaks provide a valuable source of firewood and charcoal. The wood is resistant to liquids, as well as to insect and fungal attacks, it is also particularly useful for wine and spirit barrels.
Native Oak species have an important ecological role, as they support many insects and their acorns provide a valuable food source for many birds and mammals. The canopy of oaks allows a fair amount of light to pass through, permitting a diverse and enriched understory. The tree is a light-demanding, pioneer species and regrows vigorously coppiced or pollarded.

Sessile Oak prefers deep, moist, fertile soils but is also quite tolerant to drought and poor soils. As a result, the tree sometimes occupies extreme habitats such as cliff faces in steep valleys. It will tolerate seasonal water-logging whilst dormant during the winter.

Oaks are of an extremely high conservation value and these species have more associated insect species than any other broad-leaved tree.  They are particularly important for their abundance of spring caterpillars which provide one of the main food sources for breeding woodland birds.
