Growing and Maintenance Tips:


With its strong central leader, this cultivar has a very symmetrical growth habit, making it an attractive shade tree in any landscape.

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.
