Northern Red Oak Tree Image

2020 Re-Tree Vermillion

The City of Vermillion will be offering a discount on the purchase of a tree to be planted in "approved" locations in or near the boulevard.

This year's offering is the Northern Red Oak. The Northern Red Oak is a fast growing tree; it can grow up to 2 feet per year. It can grow to be 60 - 70 feet tall and 45 feet wide. The Northern Red Oak is a great street tree that offers a lot of shade and turns a vibrant red in the fall.
