Plant description
This special form of Quercus palustris has an elegant neat and slender upright habit. The deeply lobed shiny green leaves emerge in spring giving the tree a smart green coat for the summer before turning a rich scarlet in autumn. Neater in habit and with more predictable autumn colour than other fastigiate oaks, this variety would make a stunning avenue tree or specimen tree where space is limited.

How to care for Quercus palustris Green Pillar ('Pringreen'):
Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole.
Please note:
This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
