The oak crown grows by about one meter per year.

Acorns germinate very slowly because first the root is formed and grows, and only then its surface part appears. In the first years, the oak tree grows very slowly. It takes 4-6 years to grow a 30-50 cm long seedling. It is at this time that it can be transplanted to a permanent place. At the age of 5 to 7 years, the young oak grows up to 1 meter, and only in the period of 5-10 years, its most intensive growth begins.

There are some types of oak that grow faster, such as redleaf oak. Each new tree has its own growth rate, which depends on the composition of the soil in which it grows, as well as its location and weather conditions. On average, an oak tree grows by 1 meter per year, i.e. In 10 years it can grow by 8-9 m or more.
