Medium-size tree with a strong growth and an upright central leader. ‘Marvellous’ forms a regular pyramidal tree that spreads later. The bark is like the species, almost black and roughly grooved. The young twigs are grey and felt-like and bear light green leaves. The summer leaves are glossy dark green with pointed lobes like the species. The tree keeps its leaf until the first frost. Its regular form makes it suitable for lanes, wide green borders and verges. A very wind resistant and healthy tree. Q. cerris can also be used in industrial areas.
