Quercus x macdanielii 'Clemson'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Deciduous Tree
Plant Family: Fagaceae
Plant Description: This hybrid of Bur Oak and English Oak brings together the best of both species with exceptional vigor. It will grow into a large specimen shade tree with a broad pyramid shape, so make sure to give it plenty of space. The shiny, lobed, dark green leaves are silver underneath and turn golden in the fall. Resistant to mildew and very cold tolerant.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Tree - Deciduous
Plant Care: Tree - Deciduous (single-stemmed woody plants that lose their leaves every winter): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most trees. With spring blooming trees, prune after the blooms are spent. Choose species that are resistant to pest damage. Monitor the tree for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis. Protect the trunk especially where maintenance activities, such as mowing, may cause damage. Newly planted trees in areas with high exposure should have the trunk protected during the winter.
