Trees for Light Soils: Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea)

Sessile Oaks are as long lived as the Pedunculate Oak, regularly living over 500 years, but because of their less useful timber (and possibly lower acorn yields) have been planted much less.
The Oak supports more fauna than any other trees in the UK; of the 284 insect species they include, in their canopy, the beautiful Purple Hairstreak. Its acorns are not carried on stalks (peduncles), but on the outer twigs. They are more common in the West and North on lighter, more acid soils and do not tolerate flooding, although they are more shade tolerant than the English Oak. Oak trees are today facing the potentially catastrophic threat of Phytophthora ("Sudden Oak Death").
Provenance certificates are available on request for Sessile Oak trees, which are from the Southwest of England. We don't supply oaks in larger sizes as we have found they don't like being transplanted.

See our planting and size guide for details and tips on planting. These trees are all bare root, and are consequently available for delivery from November until March ( please ask if you are interested in pot grown plants). During the lifting season there may be up to two week’s delay between placing the order and dispatching, due to weather conditions or pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence. Orders placed between March and September are confirmed in October ready for dispatch from November.
