Scarlet Letter™ Oak

Why it rocks:

Scarlet Letter™ Oak is a newcomer to the columnar oak varieties. This tree has the unique characteristic of holding on to its leaves throughout winter. We anticipate it will become just as popular as similar marcescent oak trees. Scarlet Letter showcases a handsome upright, columnar form capable of creating a hedge or as an accent in the yard. Medium green leaves turn red in the fall. This tree will not only add value and visual interest to your home but will also have your neighbors feeling envious and wanting this tree in their yards too!

Where to put it:

Scarlet Letter™ Oak’s columnar form is ideal for privacy screening, creating a visual block when planted in a row or simply as an individual accent in the landscape.

What it needs:

Scarlet Letter™ Oak prefers full to partial sun, planted in well-drained soil. This tree adapts well to most soil types and is drought tolerant once established. Be sure to follow our watering guidelines for the first few growing seasons until the root system is well-established.
