The ‘Quercus bicolor’ has wonderful foliage that is dark and glossy green on the top and silvey-white on the undersides. The leaves cover this majestic tree throughout spring and summer, before turning to shades of yellow and orange before falling. On mature trees, you will also get acorns in autumn. This tree will grow to be a real garden feature and it makes a great shade tree when mature, too.
