Quercus coccinea, commonly known as the Scarlet Oak tree, features very colourful autumn foliage. The foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to dark green, then changes to an impressive scarlet red in autumn before falling. Small, yellow-green flowers in spring produce brown acorns in autumn amidst the foliage. The Scarlet Oak will typically grow to 20 m tall and 10 m wide with a rounded crown. Quercus coccinea is widely planted in avenues or grown as a specimen in large gardens and parks with the added advantage of fantastic summer shade.
