English Oak (Quercus robur x Regal Prince®)

English Oak ‘Regal Prince®’ offers a slender, columnar shape that suits tight urban sites and narrow streets. Its glossy green lobed leaves emerge in spring, mature to deep green through summer, then turn a rich bronze-gold in autumn. This selection tolerates clay, alkaline soils and urban pollution while maintaining strong branch structure. It requires minimal pruning to preserve its upright form, making it an excellent choice for contemporary landscapes, formal avenues or as a vertical accent.
