Quercus phellos ‘QPSTA’
Description
Native shade tree – own root. The first cultivar of Willow Oak available on its own root. According to Dr. Michael Dirr, “Hightower® Willow Oak is the grower’s dream tree and the landscape architect’s easiest specification. Guaranteed to please because of the naturally developed central leader, uniform distribution of branches, upswept branching disposition, and lustrous dark green leaves turning yellow in autumn.”
