* Quercus robur is planted for forestry, and produces a long-lasting and durable heartwood, much in demand for interior and furniture work.

* A specimen of notable longevity is one in Stelmuž , Lithuania which is believed to be approximately 1,500 years old, possibly making it the oldest oak in Europe.

Comments:

Trees from this seed will come very true to the parent, which is a columnar grower.

The majority of the seedlings will be upright growing with narrow spread. The ones that are not can be rouged out at an early age.
