How close do Red Oak trees have to be to pollinate each other?

No way would I have room for more than one. How many city blocks away can another Red Oak be? I am interested in Quercus Imbricaria and Quercus Palustris, which are more flood tolerant than others. Both are Red Oaks. Are Red Oaks common? Thanx.

    Usually 1/4 mile apart is standard.

    They are wind-pollinated. They can be pretty far apart and still be fertilized.

    Whether they are common in your area depends on where you are. Shingle oaks and pin oaks are both very common in my area.
