Quercus robur 'Regal Prince'

Regal Prince English Oak has dark green deciduous foliage on a tree with an oval habit of growth. The lobed leaves do not develop any appreciable fall colour. However, the fruit can be messy in the landscape and may require occasional clean-up.

Regal Prince English Oak will grow to be about 50 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 25 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 4 feet from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live to a ripe old age of 300 years or more; think of this as a heritage tree for future generations!

This tree should only be grown in full sunlight. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
