ℹ Crimson Spire™ Oak melds the most desirable characteristics of its White and English Oak heritage to produce a fast-growing, hardy, columnar tree that’s perfect for streetscapes and landscape settings. Columnar habit and adaptability are inherited from English Oak (Quercus robur), while its dark green, mildew-resistant foliage and stunning red fall color are inherited from the White Oak (Quercus alba) parent. A vigorous growth rate makes this durable oak a good choice for anchoring newer landscapes. It reaches about 45 feet in height with an 8-10-foot spread in 20 years in a typical urban landscape setting. Dense foliage creates living screens for blocking unsightly views and muffling traffic sounds. Proven adaptable to a wide range of climates and growing conditions, Crimson Spire™ Oak is appreciated by growers for its ease of care, and by landscape designers for its columnar form and stately appearance.
