mature oak tree

An oak tree is a type of tree that is well known for its presence, beauty and longevity. It can reach heights of up to 100 feet and can live for hundreds of years. Mature oak trees are unmistakable: they have a majestic, wide canopy and often have deep-set roots that make them appear almost wider than they are tall. Oaks add great value to the environment by providing food and shelter for wildlife, and adding beauty and structure to a landscape.
