Sessile oak
Quercus petraea
Sessile oak is a majestic native tree that develops slowly but rewards patience with exceptional longevity and wildlife value. Provide well-draining soil and full to partial sun for best growth. This low-maintenance oak becomes increasingly drought tolerant as it matures and produces acorns that support local wildlife.
