This special form of Quercus palustris has an elegant neat and slender upright habit. The deeply lobed shiny green leaves emerge in spring giving the tree a smart green coat for the summer before turning a rich scarlet in autumn. Neater in habit and with more predictable autumn colour than other fastigiate oaks, this variety would make a stunning avenue tree or specimen tree where space is limited. - Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole.
- Pets: Harmful if eaten
