Quercus robur

September, October
The English Oak (Quercus robur) is a deciduous tree from the oak genus of the Fagaceae family. Its wood is hard, strong, very durable, and easy to work with. It is used for various purposes: as construction timber, railway sleepers, beams, and poles. In interior design, it is used for flooring, paneling, and furniture. High-quality oak wood is used for veneers and to craft highly valued barrels. Additionally, it serves excellently as firewood. Historically, acorns from oak forests were used to feed livestock, making oak forests important both for wood and food.
Acorns have limited use as human food due to their bitter compounds and astringent taste.
The fruit is an acorn, ranging from 1.5 to 5 cm in length and 0.7 to 2.7 cm in width, with longitudinal surface stripes, light brown or yellowish in color. The acorn protrudes from the cupule by 1/2 to 2/3 of its length and hangs on a 2 to 3 (occasionally up to 6) cm long peduncle.
Self-pollinating.

You can purchase seedlings of English Oak at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
