Quercus dentata ‘Pinnatifida’

Quercus 'Pinnatifida' has highly dissected, grey-green foliage up to 10 inches long resembling a Philodendron more than an oak!

Quercus dentata ‘Pinnatifida’ is an amazing slow-growing oak cultivar that forms a shrub or small tree with incredible, soft, grey-green foliage up to 10 inches long and dissected to the mid rib creating long fingers that together resemble a Philodendron more than an oak! New growth is hairy on both sides and flushed with red. Fall colour is russet brown. A great architectural specimen for small gardens and containers. For the 2025 Rare Flowering Tree Pre-Order plants will be recently potted in 15cm pots and about 1-2 feet tall.
