Nursery contributed plant descriptions
This evergreen Japanese oak relation is fine as either a street or garden tree in full sun or an understory plant in part shade. Outstanding, with high gloss leaves, somewhat brassy on the undersides, tapering to a narrow, drip-tip point --something like a large Ficus benjamina. Can reach 30 ft in 8-10 years and taller over time. Rich soil and summer water. Frost hardy to at least -10F, USDA zone 6.
