Quercus robur 'Rosehill'

Rosehill Columnar English Oak

Rosehill English oak, also known as Asjes, has glossy green leaves and a narrow oval to upright crown. It is selected for resistance to powdery mildew. Fall color is variable: leaves often remain green before dropping, though copper and red can appear.

Grow in full sun. Slightly acidic soil suits it, and established trees tolerate periods of dryness. Allow enough room for the crown to widen with age.
