Abstract
The article analyses growth and quality of Northern red oak (Quercus rubra Linnaeus) based on 13 research plots (seven in red oak stands and six in sessile oak stands) with the ages between 17 to 159 years. The collected data includes height, DBH, crown diameter, stem and crown quality, health status of each tree on the plot. Analogous plots were chosen in sessile oak (Quercus sessilis Linnaeus) stands on similar sites to get reference data. The results proved the high wood production potential of red oak when compared to sessile oak being at the same or higher quality and health. The data propose the red oak to be a good additional species in lowland stands.
