Crimson Spire™ Columnar Oak

Quercus robur 'Crimschmidt'

Be the first to review this product


Product Description

An excellent choice for narrow spaces. Crimson Spire® is most useful as a reliable privacy screen where space is limited. The lovely, dark green foliage turns to spectacular shades of red in autumn on this columnar shaped tree. The leaves will turn brown and may or may not persist through winter depending on weather conditions.
This is a strong wooded tree that grows moderately fast. Crimson Spire® will withstand high winds much better than softer wooded narrow trees. The leaves are thick and lustrous and don't seem to be prone to insect infestation. A long lived tree that will provide many years of enjoyment.
Available in either a low-branched form or with the branching higher up.

Hardy to -30°F
Maximum Elevation: 6,000 ft.
