Turkey Oak Sapling Trees

Quercus cerris Bareroot Trees

Delivered by Mail Order Direct from our Nursery with a Year Guarantee

Turkey Oak, Quercus cerris, saplings are vigorous plants that will grow into soaring parkland trees. Suitable for any well-drained, moderately fertile soil this big tree is one of the most vigorous oaks, typically spreading out as wide as it is tall when mature. The autumn colour is a mellow brown with some brighter bronze tones. It is easy to tell Turkey oak from a native oak by looking at the acorn cups, which have moss-like growths on them, unlike the smooth cups of the native oaks. The leaf buds also have bristly brown hairs.

Turkey Oak is a good choice if you want a tall, majestic oak tree but don't want to wait for the slower growing Common Oak. It can be grown as a screening tree up to about 30 metres high and is a good windbreak tree. 

The plants on this page are young saplings. You can also buy larger Turkey Oak trees.

Turkey Oak plants are only delivered bareroot, during winter (Nov-April). All of our young trees are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots aren't measured).

After Care

After you plant your Turkey Oak trees, the most important thing to do is water them in dry weather. You will also need to weed around the plants. Both of these will be necessary for at least a year after planting.
