National tree of England. Very important ecologically for it’s abundant acorn crop and the many other life forms it supports. Tree is very fast growing and upright and can grow 75 to over 100 feet tall. It produces a highly coveted wood used for many purposes, but is also long lived, several specimens in Europe are known to be over 1,000 years old.
