Spanish oak (Quercus falcata) has served as a cornerstone of the landscape at Glenstone since 2006. More commonly known as Southern red oak, the example at Glenstone measures 100 feet tall with a circumference of 185 inches and canopy of 104 feet. It stands near the entrance to the Gallery and Richard Serra’s sculpture Sylvester, 2001. The Spanish oak thrives in full sun and relatively dry soil and is a low-maintenance tree for the mid-Atlantic region.
