Description

The most fastigiate of pin oaks. The branches form a 20-25 degree angle from the main trunk and the lower branches do not sweep towards the ground. A very narrow and uniformly branched tree with nice glossy green leaves. Fall color is maroon red. Good winter interest as well, due to its habit.
