aka Pin Oak

Pin Oak. One of my favourite Oaks for its graceful drooping branch formation. Handsome dark green foliage in summer that turns to fiery shades of red prior to leaf fall. A beautiful specimen tree that is hardy, tolerant and easy to grow in anything but alkaline soils. Est.10yr.growth.

The Pin Oak is more moisture tolerant than other Oaks and has a shallow rooting system. That is because its natural habitat is poorly drained flat land in eastern-central USA.

aka English Oak

The classic and much loved English Oak grows into a large, spreading tree with pale gray bark and shallowly-lobed green leaves that turn golden yellow prior to leaf fall. The perfect tree for large gardens, pond edges or paddocks. Acorns are much loved by wild-life, especially ducks. Deciduous.

The mighty Oak will live between 600 and 700 years so it really is a tree for life and is the perfect symbolic tree for families to plant to celebrate a new-born.

A handsome form of the ever enduring Oak that has an upright tight branch formation that grows into a natural column. Lobed green leaves that turn shades of yellow then brown before falling late in the winter. Hardy and tolerant but happiest in a sunny position. Deciduous.

The Latin 'fastigiata' literally means erect branches growing close together; columnar; upright.
