Growing and Maintenance Tips:

A very attractive tree, suitable for drier landscapes, this oak has a beautiful long-lasting fall colour. It needs a large landscape or park area to grow to its mature size.

Do not prune Oaks during the growing season. Oaks are highly susceptible to Oak Wilt, which is spread by a sap beetle that is attracted to fresh wounds. Prune oaks only during the dormant season in winter after the leaves have fallen. Oak Wilt can kill a mature Oak within one season.
