Texas Red Oak

Texas Red Oak (Quercus buckleyi)

Texas Red Oak is one of the most beautiful native shade trees for Central Texas, prized for its spectacular fall color and excellent adaptation to the rocky limestone soils of the Hill Country. Its glossy green leaves transform into brilliant shades of red, orange, and burgundy each autumn, creating one of the region’s finest seasonal displays. Moderate in growth and exceptionally long-lived, Texas Red Oak develops into a handsome shade tree that supports birds and other wildlife with its acorns while thriving in heat and periodic drought. Its beauty, durability, and outstanding fall color make it an exceptional choice for residential landscapes.
