Quercus robur ‘Filicifolia’
English Oak - Fernleaf
A fascinating cutleaf English Oak creating a fernlike appearance. Finely cut leaves emerge a light green in spring and mature to a bluish-green colouration. Fall colour ranges from green to a dull yellow. Staking is recommended when young due to its irregular growth, eventually gaining a leader to become an upright rounded pyramid. Grows 50’+ high and wide after many years.
