A striking deciduous oak that brings vibrant seasonal colour to damp landscapes, with deeply lobed leaves that turn brilliant shades of scarlet and crimson in autumn. The pyramidal crown develops into a more rounded shape with age, while the lower branches droop gracefully before sweeping upwards at the tips. Unlike many oaks, it thrives in poorly drained soils and tolerates occasional flooding, making it ideal for waterside planting or areas with heavy clay. The slender, pointed acorns and persistent brown winter foliage add further ornamental interest. Fast growing for an oak, it establishes quickly as a handsome specimen tree that provides valuable habitat while withstanding urban conditions better than many native species. A superb choice for adding dramatic autumn colour to challenging wet sites.
