Green leaves are the shaped like those of the red oak, turning a wine colour in autumn. The bark on older branches exfoliates in thin, papery patches. White blooms fade to pink, then to brown for the winter.

  • »  Dull green oakleaf-shaped leaves turn purple in the fall
  • »  Twig and branch bark exfoliates, providing winter interest
  • »  Suckers infrequently, becoming mounded in habit
  • »  Bloom Time: June to July
