Upright English Oak ‘Fastigiata’
FamilyFagaceae
Quercus robur ‘Fastigiata’, commonly known as the fastigiate English oak, is an architectural and elegant variety of English oak prized for its distinctly narrow and vertical habit, which strongly structures landscapes. Its deep green, dense, and robust foliage turns a flamboyant red and purple in autumn, adding a spectacular seasonal touch to driveways, courtyards, or informal hedges. Thanks to its narrow silhouette, it optimizes space while providing height and presence—ideal for urban plots, courtyards, or contemporary gardens. Very hardy and adaptable to Quebec's climate, this oak tolerates various well-drained soils and integrates harmoniously into landscape compositions, offering longevity, visual interest, and ease of maintenance.
