English Oak

English Oaks, also known as Brown Oaks, have short and thick trunks with wide spreading branches. Their leaves are dark green on the front, and pale green on the back, and keep their color into winter. The English Oak’s acorns are a valuable food source to several small mammals and some birds, but these trees can take up to 20 years to produce these nuts.
