Description
beautiful and good
The autumn coloring of the foliage of the American red oak, with its extraordinarily varied reds, accounts for much of its ornamental appeal. Its leaves with a large surface, strongly lobed and remarkably dull, differ considerably from the adornment of its congeners of European origin. The tree excels in the decoration of parks. Its aesthetics delight the forests just as much. It did not come to us by chance… Introduced in Europe at the beginning of the XNUMXth century, it seduced the wealthy private parks before reaching the forests. Because its wood, which grows rapidly, is of high quality. The immigrant from the eastern United States has adapted well and beautifully. Yesterday artificial, stands are now multiplying by themselves.
