Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Finely cut, leathery leaves with a "chewed" margin are shorter, narrower, and more green than that of Quercus 'Pinnatifida'. Ultimately this tree will reach 75-100 ft. tall, with a similar spread. Make this a legacy tree for your grandchildren. Meanwhile, enjoy it as a small tree with interesting leaves as it slowly becomes the muscular, stout tree of its dreams. Give it space. Deciduous. Minimum temperature: -20?F

Slow-growing, fascinating rare cultivar with fern-like, almost stringy foliage - quite a contrast to seedling trees. Requires a bit of patience in staking and shaping, but worth the search for an oak collector.

If you like maples with the finely cut, lacy leaves, you'll love this one. Maybe more like a fern leaf, but lovely no matter what you compare it to. Slow growing, eventually getting to 50-75 feet (not likely in my lifetime) but will probably be less than 10 feet tall for many years. Full sun. zones 5-8
