Superb, hardy, fast growing, deciduous tree with broad spreading head. Magnificent leaves, 20cm (8ins) long and 15cm (6ins) across with slender toothed lobes which end with a bristle-like point, open pale yellow, turning green in summer with paler underside, then brilliant colours in autumn from orange to dark red. Clusters of catkins of yellow male flowers and tiny female flowers in spring followed by large acorns, which sit in very shallow cups and take 2 years to mature. Any ordinary well drained soil and needs an open sunny position to develop a good shape. Excellent tree for nesting birds.

Bare-Root Plants (Transplants)

Bare-root plants are sold without a pot/soil around the roots. This is a more cost effective and environmentally friendly way of growing plants. To ensure the best plant health we do not store our plants in cold storage, but they are left in our field or plant beds until they are ready for packing or collection.

Transplanted plants have been lifted from the ground and replanted. This encourages a better fibrous root system and makes the plant stronger and bushier.

Availability

Bare rooted plants are only available when the plants are dormant (typically from late November to March).

If a plant is currently out of stock because it is out of season (for example, bare rooted plants in summer) or we have sold out but we are expecting more to be available you can pre-order the plant. We only charge credit/debit cards when an order is despatched, not when an order is placed.
