Growth characteristics of red oak were investigated in an artificially established stand in East Serbia, on the site of sessile oak (altitude 350 m, annual precipitation 829 mm, mean annual air temperature 8.8 deg C). Red oak on its natural sites, as well as in Europe, has intensive growth in the juvenile stage. In the area of Majdanpek, already at the age of 41, it attains the height above 20 m, and based on its appearance and growth dynamics, it has the characteristics of a vital fast-growing species with a high production of dendromass (460 cubic m/ha per year at the age of 40). This paper compares the red oak growth characteristics on the sessile oak site with its growth characteristics on the site of Hungarian oak and Turkey oak and on the transition site of sessile oak and beech. It is concluded that red oak is an economically, ecologically and also aesthetically interesting allochthonous tree species.
