Quercus robur ‘Fastigiata’

Fastigiate English oak (Quercus robur ‘Fastigiata’) is a distinctive cultivar of the English oak, characterized by its columnar or fastigiate habit, meaning that its branches grow almost vertically, parallel to the trunk. This narrow, upright form makes it particularly well suited for small spaces or for planting along avenues where lateral space is limited. The foliage is dense, dark green, and lobed, providing attractive texture throughout the growing season. In autumn, the leaves typically turn yellow-brown before falling. Like all oaks, it produces acorns.

Soil type: Quercus robur ‘Fastigiata’ is highly adaptable and tolerates a wide range of soil types, but it prefers deep, fertile, well-drained, and moist soils. It can tolerate clay or loamy soils and is fairly drought-tolerant once established.
