English Oak is large, long-lived deciduous tree, widely distributed in Europe. It is one of the most economically and ecologically important deciduous forest tree species in the UK and Europe.
English Oak is very tolerant of different soil conditions and variable climate conditions but will usually grow fastest and straightest in warm and sheltered sites. It can be found growing in seasonally wet areas by streams and rivers, but prefers fertile and well-watered soils. English Oak is a pioneer species in grassland areas and can eventually become dominant after many years of battling through the grass together with repeated deer browsing.
The wood from is hard and durable and valued for many purposes including for construction, furniture, veneer, fencing and firewood. It has a high tannin content, which makes it resistant to insect and fungal attacks and is particular useful for wine and spirit barrels.
Oak species also have an important ecological role, as they support 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.
