Quercus robur Fastigiata
Quercus robur 'Fastigiata', commonly known as the English Columnar Oak or Cypress Oak, is a deciduous tree with lovely foliage and great form. This majestic beauty typically grows to 15 m tall and 5 m wide with a columnar-conical growth habit. The foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to dark green, then lightens only slightly in autumn before falling. Small, yellow-green flowers in spring produce brown acorns in autumn. Quercus robur 'Fastigiata' is an ideal tree for avenue planting, growing in smaller spaces where a taller tree is required, planting for screening, or growing as a specimen in a park or large garden.
