Comments:
When grown under cultivation, this oak is generally around 50 feet tall and a slightly greater spread. Grows at a moderate rate when young and becomes slow growing as it ages. The broad, rounded canopy is made up of strong branches. In autumn the yellow-green leaves may turn yellow, red or brown. It is a member of the white oak group.
