The Crimson Spire Oak {Quercus robur x Q. alba ‘Crimschmidt’}has it all. Bred and produced by J. Frank Schmidt, this columnar tree is the perfect choice for the urban landscape. Crimson Spire combines the best of the English and White oaks to create columnar form, quick growth, and gorgeous reddish-orange fall color.
With a mature spread of just 15 feet, this oak is perfect for privacy screening or noise reduction. In just 20 years Crimson Spire can reach up to 45 feet tall, providing all its benefits in a timely manner.
Small or confined residential gardens can benefit from its slender shape, while still enjoying vibrant hues in fall, and deep greens all summer long.
Water Requirements: Moderate moisture just until established
