Red oak is a large tree native to the NE. Red oak is a fast growing tree. It grows so well here, it typically can sprout twice or even three times in one year. This is seen most in young trees. One of mine grew one main spring in April, then sprung again in the summer, and again in September. Therefore it grew three generations in one year! That tree grew at least 5 feet that year. Red oaks are probably going to be fastest growing oak tree that grows here. That earned it a good popularity. Its wood is very strong. These trees almost never break in storms. Red Oaks grew almost everywhere, so they are great trees for any environment. They need a lot of space to grow nice and big. Their acorns have a high germination rate, and may get a lot of seedling trees. These trees grow pretty slow unless in a good environment. Pull them quick, they develop a deep taproot within a year of good fast growth. Two years old and the tree's roots may be too deep to pull up. Its possible maturity age is between 7-15 years old. All of mine that are young do not flower or fruit.
