Couldn't load pickup availability
A magnificent deciduous oak that makes a dramatic statement in autumn when its large, pointed leaves turn vibrant shades of crimson and burgundy, creating one of the most spectacular seasonal displays in the tree world. The broad, spreading crown develops with a strong, open structure, while the smooth grey bark becomes attractively ridged with age. Unlike many oaks, it grows relatively quickly and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions including slightly acidic substrates, though it thrives best in deep, well drained loams. The acorns with their shallow, saucer shaped cups provide valuable food for wildlife. Well suited to parkland and large gardens, this robust tree combines fast growth with exceptional ornamental appeal, particularly when its fiery autumn foliage catches the light. A superb choice for adding year round structure and seasonal drama to spacious landscapes.
