Quercus Rubra picture description: A large red oak tree that is in full summer leaf.
Quercus Rubra picture information: Oaks of which there are hundreds of species, are deciduous and evergreen. A fast growing tree is the red oak, and can be seen in most parts of the British Isles. The leaves are large of matt green colour. Oak trees are very useful for building and for wildlife.
Trees, from which so much comes. The fruit trees such as apple, orange and cherry. The flowering magnolia provides large flowers in the summer. Oak trees that provide strong wood for building and also a habitat for many birds and insects. Evergreen that are green all year. A real tree at Christmas cannot be beaten. Maples that produce a fantastic display of autumn colour when their leaves turn from the summer green to various shades of red. Many trees can be planted in small gardens and quite often they are used for hedging. The large trees that are seen in ornamental gardens or parks, beech, redwoods, and Scots pine. Identifying trees can be difficult but a few simple observations of the tree such as the size and shape of the leaves, the colour and texture of the bark should narrow the species down quite a lot and with a small pocket guide of trees you may even identify the tree exactly!
