Highbeam® Overcup Oak

Before & After


Photo Gallery


Description


Native shade tree - own root. The first cultivar Overcup Oak available on its own root. Dr. Michael Dirr declares, “Highbeam® Overcup Oak is a refinement of one of the best native species. Its uniqueness resides in the lustrous leathery leaves, changing yellow and bronze-red in fall. Further, leaf drop is clean and uniform, without the lingering dried brown foliage common to many oak species. The gray-brown winter branches and trunk assume a scaly texture, presenting a sculptural silhouette in the winter landscape. Branches are upswept, making Highbeam® a perfect street tree.”
