The English oak, also known as the pedunculate oak, is native across much of Europe. Its deeply lobed leaves are dark green above and bluish-green beneath, turning shades of yellow and brown in fall. It has a growth rate of about 12–18 inches per year. Its acorns provide food for wildlife, though trees may take up to 20 years to begin producing. English oak is famed for its longevity, often surpassing 600 years, with some ancient trees over 1,000 years, though urban lifespans are much shorter. Historically, English oaks were used for Yule logs, symbolizing strength and continuity.
