This cultivar is distinguished from the species by its regular growth form and well-closed foliage. Fairly fast-growing with a well-spaced heart branch and an angled branching habit. The short trunk is grey-brown and finely grooved and the bark parts detach in small plates. Young twigs are thick, hairy and olive green. Older twigs are bare and grey. The leaves are very deep and regularly lobed. The large lobes are also lobed or shallowly toothed. The leaf is shiny dark green, the underside light green. It is 10 - 20 cm long, sometimes longer when growing vigorously. Width 7 - 12 cm. One third to half of the acorns are enclosed by the cupule, which is densely covered with narrow adjacent and hairy scales. The cupules and leaves are very characteristic of the species.
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.
