Let me know if you have comments on these or other nursery trees for street and landscape use. Let me know your experiences with this tree or others that we should know about. Apparently the Streetspire Oak has the very same characteristics as the Crimson Spire Oak except that the leaves fall in the fall, when they are supposed to. If winter leaves are a nuisance to you, then consider a close relative, the Street spire Oak, Quercus robur x alba ‘JFS-KW1QX’. The rusty red leaves do turn a light brown into the winter and do not drop until early spring. It prefers full sun and clay, loam, or sand with good drainage. The dark green foliage of the tree turns yellow-brown in autumn. Fall color can be spectacular rusty red and more striking the closer you get. Fastigiata Skyrocket English Oak can be planted in boulevards and streets. The Crimson Spire Oak is another excellent narrow upright tree well suited to narrow planting strips, foundation plantings, screening and lining avenues for clear delineation. This is one tree that has shown some graft incompatibility but these bad boys are, or should be culled out by the nursery by the time you get them. When purchasing, take a close look at the graft union. These should be pruned back to build strength and join the rest of the upright crown. This is more likely if growing under optimum soil conditions. It will occasionally have what I call a lazy lateral, a long heavy limb that hangs out beyond the majority of upright limbs. This is a relatively fast growing tree that is drought tolerant and somewhat easy to transplant. This columnar, tightly fastigiate tree grows to a height of about 45 feet and spread of 15 feet. Leaves are smaller, dense and almost clustered along the upright lateral limbs. Dark green to bluish green mildew resistant foliage and reddish fall color is inherited from the White Oak parentage, while the fastigiate growth habit is inherited from the English Oak parentage. This columnar, tightly fastigiate hybrid of English and White Oak combines the best characteristics of both parents. Originally a flat potato field, it centers around two large naturalistic koi ponds nurtured by wetland filter systems, surrounded by open lawn and arboretum areas which in turn give way to border plantings of mature evergreen and deciduous trees, hidden paths, and shade gardens.
