The oak tree

(Quercus robur L.)

A tree of the beech family with a broad, gnarled crown. The longest-lived tree species in Latvia (up to 500 years). Grows to a height of 35m. Bark gray, cracked. The leaves are tufted and lobed (5-15cm x 3-6cm). Fruit - an acorn (up to 3 cm), unripe - green, ripe - greenish-brown or brown. Blooms in May, acorns ripen in September. A species widely found in Europe. In Latvia, often throughout the territory. Found in forests, riverbanks, ravines, isolated trees in various agricultural lands and cultivated landscapes. One of the industrially most valuable trees in Latvia.

Oak trees can be grown, for example, on the balcony by transplanting them into a sufficiently deep, large pot. The bigger the pot you plant the oak, the bigger it will grow. Trees growing in the room will remain green for up to 9 months a year, then they will drop their leaves, but in the sun on the windowsill they will be new again after a few months. It is better to transplant oak trees outdoors when they have grown in a pot, in this way ensuring that someone eats the small seedling.

If the tree is planned to be planted in the open air, then after the frost, which is around the middle of June, it would be preferable to keep the small seedling outside so that it gets used to life in the open air. If the stick is taken outside, it should be placed in a place inaccessible to frost for the winter, but it should not be brought back into the heat.

Those growing indoors should be watered once every two or three days, those growing outside should be watered as needed.
