Columnar oaks?

[Angus 1895]

Can these withstand total soil saturation, pH of 7.4, and drought?

I wanna plant em!

Thanks

Most oaks prefer a slightly acidic soil but chinkapin oak can tolerate alkaline soils and drier conditions as well. Are there columnar chinkapins? Dunno but maybe try to research those

I got them here as acorns. Something I wrote was columnar hybrids. They are not showing any chlorosis at this time.

There are a handful at a grocery store parking lot near me, pretty small but make a few acorns. I’m going to have to collect a few and give them a try.

They seem very hardy! But I have only have seedlings.

My crimson spires froze when I was laid up after surgery. I’m bummed about that.

But the columnars sprouted later in the winter when I was able to keep them warm.

They have been stellar in the nursery. Excellent root and stem growth.
