The Quercus palustris ‘Green Pillar’ is a novelty among columnar trees. As opposed to others of its species, this new variety of the bog oak stays very narrow. After all, there is a reason why its name is Green Pillar.

Thanks to its narrow growth habit, Quercus palustris ‘Green Pillar’ is highly suitable as an avenue tree, especially in narrow streets. This columnar tree grows very uniformly, and the branches do not sag. This tree will grow 3 metres in width and 12-18 metres in height. The dark green, shiny leaves turn deep red in autumn, which makes it a great solution to add accents to a public space.

This tree originates from the Princeton Nursery in America. The Quercus palustris ‘Green Pillar’ is frequently planted in America, and has proven itself as a good street tree there. The ‘Green Pillar’ thrives in humid, permeable and slightly acidic soil, but it is not suitable for clay soil. It is a fast grower and resistant to air pollution.

Quercus palustris 'Green Pillar' is a healthy tree with great decorative value, which comes out well in the narrowest of streets.
