Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This fine oak tree has a distinctive upright habit, its vigorous growth to 50-60' also features a strong central leader. The glossy deep-green foliage has better resistance to leaf spot than the straight species. Its strong symmetrical shape makes it one of the unsurpassed trees of summer, while fall brings a golden-brown cast to the leaves. This drought resistant and adaptable specimen makes a worthy street tree. S/M-D
