View prices and availability
Medium-size tree with a regular crown growing to around 15 m. Has a good ascending growth habit and an upright central leader. When young, the crown is narrow but later it becomes broad oval to round. The grey bark is deeply grooved. Young twigs are strikingly thick and covered with dense downy hair. The large leaves are tough and leathery. The leaf is obovate, matt dark green and can reach 25 cm long and half as wide. It does not take on a nice autumn colour but the leaves remain on the tree all winter. The acorns are in small clusters. They are around 2 cm in size and about half enclosed by the cupule. This cultivar was selected by the De Belders on their estate, Hemelrijk, in Belgium from seeds that Carl Ferris Miller had collected when visiting Korea. Miller was an American who founded the Chollipo Arboretum in South Korea. A lovely park tree.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
