Quercus palustris 'Pendula' Quercus palustris 'Pendula'

‘Pendula’ has a round to broad weeping, somewhat irregular crown because of the more drooping branches. Eventually the tree can grow to around 20 m tall and wide. Fairly open branched with olive green young twigs, older branches and bark grey and smooth to shallow grooved. The ovate to broad elliptical leaf is lobed to around halfway along the leaf blade. It is glossy dark green, turning red to reddish brown in autumn. An old cultivar that is still rare in culture. The drooping branches make it a typical park tree. Grows in almost any soil and can also cope with a moist soil. Can tolerate air pollution.
