English Oak
Quercus Robur

Stalwart and storied, the English Oak stands as a living monument to time. Quercus robur—with robur meaning “strength” or “hardness”—perfectly captures the tree’s enduring character and its central place in British culture and ecology.

With a broad, spreading crown and deeply lobed leaves, this majestic tree can live for centuries, often surpassing 500 years. It supports more wildlife than any other native British species, providing food, shelter, and habitat for thousands of insects, birds, fungi, and lichens.

Its acorns ripen in autumn, and its timber has been used for shipbuilding, architecture and barrel-making. Whether found in ancient woodlands, hedgerows or formal parklands, the English Oak is a timeless presence—symbolising endurance, generosity, and a deep-rooted connection to the land.
