Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip

 To highlight Scarlet Letter™ Oak, position it where the autumn sunlight will illuminate its brilliant red foliage.

Its strong vertical form works beautifully when framed by evergreens, ornamental grasses, or companion flowering trees to create a dynamic four season display.

Why Plant Scarlet Letter™ Oak?

Scarlet Letter™ Oak is an exciting new cultivar of English Oak selected for its brilliant fall color and classic oak form. Unlike many oaks that turn muted browns in autumn, Scarlet Letter™ delivers a vivid red display that turns heads and enlivens the landscape. Its strong upright habit and robust growth make it a long term anchor for any property, while its disease resistance and adaptability ensure it thrives in diverse environments. Planting this oak adds instant seasonal interest and a sense of permanence to your landscape.

How to use Scarlet Letter™ Oak in the landscape?

Scarlet Letter™ Oak excels as a specimen tree in lawns, entryways, or large garden beds where its fall color can be fully appreciated. Its upright form makes it ideal for urban and suburban settings, lining streets, driveways, or paths. Use it as a focal point in a layered landscape, where it pairs beautifully with spring flowering trees and evergreen backdrops. Its shade and structure will benefit surrounding plantings while adding seasonal drama for years to come.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
