Quercus pubescens

Striking characters, a distinctive almost corky bark and a slightly smaller leaf than many other oaks. Quercus pubescens (downy oak) is a fantastic species that brings with it an atmosphere of its own.

It is a somewhat slower grower but can grow into a large tree depending on conditions. Its late autumn colouring goes from warm golden yellow to brown. They often retain their brown leaves for a long time in winter.

With the specimens that are above ground, we like to experiment. We regularly reposition or combine them in a different way. This way, we also get to know our own trees and their effect in different contexts better.
The brown leaves remain on the tree for a long time in winter or sometimes even until early spring.
The layer of snow on the bark accentuates the character of the trunks.
