Native Oaks =

Unforgettable Fall Color

Light up urban landscapes with Wayne’s top native oaks for fall color, grown using Forrest

Keeling’s Root Production Method^® (RPM) for a 95% survivability rate. Our advanced container system ensures denser roots for faster establishment, perfect for long-lived oaks with upright habits that enhance shady boulevards and parks.

Scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea) boasts brilliant red foliage and tolerates urban pollution. Swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii) offers bronze hues and acorns that feed wildlife. White oak (Quercus alba) displays red-purple leaves and supports diverse ecosystems. Shumard oak (Quercus shumardii) shines with crimson color and thrives in varied soils.

We grow these and over two dozen other species of native oak in #3, #5, #7, and #15 containers. Learn more about oaks and download our brochure on native oaks and hickory.

Urban forests are vital for vibrant cities, and fall is the perfect time to restore them by replacing trees lost in spring and summer storms. By integrating nature-based solutions, our native trees, such as oaks, maples, and redbuds, are ideal for pollution tolerance, longevity, and supporting biodiversity.

Native species align with key urban forestry trends. They mitigate climate change by reducing urban heat islands, improving air quality, and managing stormwater runoff. They also enhance human health, boost property values, and create vibrant neighborhoods. Available in #3, #5, #7, and #15 containers,

our RPM trees ensure faster growth—twice as fast as standard methods—making them perfect for innovative green infrastructure solutions like urban forests and green spaces.
