Quercus petraea (Q petraea), commonly known as the Sessile Oak, is a deciduous tree that features lush foliage and great form.

Small, yellow-green flowers in spring produce brown acorns in autumn. The Sessile Oak typically grows to 25 m tall and 15 m wide with a conical growth habit and tends to broaden out with age. Quercus petraea is commonly grown as a specimen in large gardens and parks with the added advantage of fantastic summer shade.
