QUERCUS IMBRICARIA
Grower Notes:
Commonly known as the Shingle Oak, this medium sized deciduous oak typically grows in a conical form to 40-60' tall, with the crown broadening and rounding with age.
The smooth-edged, bristle-tipped, narrow green leaves are willow-like. Fall color is variable, sometimes producing attractive shades of yellow-brown to reddish brown. Dark gray, irregularly-furrowed trunks develop on mature trees. Old leaves tend to persist on the tree through winter.
Prefers moist, well drained, acidic soil, but will perform well in drier situations. Considered to be a low-maintenance tree with good pest resistance. It makes a good sub for Quercus Phellos (Willow Oak).
