Quercus nuttallii ‘QNFTA’
Description
Native shade tree – own root. The first cultivar Nuttall Oak available on its own root. Leaves emerge in spring, tinged bronzy red, turning to lustrous dark green. By fall they assume a brilliant yellow/orange and drop cleanly in winter.
“Highpoint® Nuttall Oak is an alternative to Pin Oak and Shumard Oak in the southern United States. The uniform growth habit, spectacular foliage, and proclivity for harsh cultural conditions are the ingredients that produce the perfect shade and street tree.”-Dr. Michael Dirr
