Growing and Maintenance Tips:


This cultivar has incredibly unique leaves and has the largest growing in the oak family. It is an extremely slow grower, so plant accordingly. A real eye-catcher.

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.
