A Majestic Native Tree That Nourishes the Land
The Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra) is a tall, stately native tree known for its fast growth, vibrant fall color, and ecological value. From its roots to its canopy, every red oak supports a rich web of life—fungi, insects, birds, and mammals all depend on it.
These large hardwood trees not only stabilize soil and filter groundwater but also produce nutritious acorns—a valuable food source for wildlife and even humans. Red oak timber is highly prized for its strength and quality, often used in fine woodworking and construction.

If you're fortunate to steward land that can sustain large trees, planting a red oak is a gift to future generations. Let it grow tall, feed the wildlife, and enrich the earth—good fruits multiply.
Hundredfold Note: About native oak
A single native acorn carries the blessings of thousands of years of genetic resilience. Once, oaks and American chestnuts stood side by side as dominant trees across Eastern North America. But by 1950, chestnuts had been nearly wiped out by disease. Since then, oaks have risen to take their place—the new kings of the forest.
Yet today, our native oak populations are quietly declining across the continent. In British Columbia alone, 95% of Garry Oak habitat has been lost in just two centuries.
To prevent the fate of the chestnut from repeating, we must act with intention.
Plant an oak today. Be a guardian of biodiversity, a hero for generations to come.
