Quercus robur 'Rita's Gold'

In Stock (shipped within 2-3 working days)
£55.00

(English Oak) A very unusual selection of oak which is grown not so much for its summer leaf colour (as you would usually expect with this name), as for its yellow and golden-yellow autumn colour. The summer leaf colour is mid to dark green.

Gradually develops into a very handsome small or eventually medium sized tree. Best autumn leaf colour is typically seen when planted in a position with plenty of sun.

Very limited number available this year.
