This is a vigorous oak tree that grows to have a broad, yet columnar, habit. The glossy green leaves are like that of a chestnut leaf, hence the common name, and the leaves have silvery undersides and are covered in tiny hairs. Come autumn, the leaves turn to a bronzed yellow. This is the perfect tree for a large garden or an open space and its columnar habit will add structure to the landscape.
