The small-sized acorns on this cultivar make it a great street tree, leaving less litter than other cultivars. The leaves are resistant to mildew and anthracnose.
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.
