Scarlet Oak - 1 Gallon Potted

A must have in your yard! Scarlet Oak is a popular and handsome shade and ornamental tree. Before fall, you will enjoy sitting under the large green oak leaves as they spread a shaded canopy over the lawn. Like the name, this tree will produce a brilliant shade of scarlet red in the fall. Acorns are produced every 3-5 years as well, providing food source for local songbirds, wild turkeys, squirrels and white-tailed deer.
