The American oak (Quercus rubra) is a fast-growing tree from the Fagaceae family. The species originates from eastern North America, but has been planted in Europe as an ornamental tree since 1803. The leaves decompose poorly, resulting in the formation of a thick litter layer that makes it difficult for seeds of other species to germinate. The species is invasive in Western Europe and disrupts biodiversity there.
