View prices and availability
Fine columnar tree that keeps its tight, narrow crown even when older. The tree has a very uniform crown up to a height of 12 to 18 m and does not get wider than 3.5 to 4.5 m. As the branches project from the trunk at an angle of 20° - 25°, the narrow habit is retained. The branching is dense and the young twigs are olive green. The older branches and the bark are grey. The bark is smooth to shallow grooved. The roughly lobed leaf is glossy dark green, turning red to reddish brown in autumn. In winter the tree holds on to quite a lot of withered foliage. Was found as a seedling of Q. palustris ‘Crownright’. Its columnar growth habit makes it very suitable for use in narrow streets, in residential areas and squares. Grows best on fairly acidic soil and can also cope with wet soil. Can tolerate air pollution.
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.
