Family Fagaceae

Quercus × macdanielii 'Clemons Heritage' is a vigorous, upright hybrid oak, resulting from a cross between Quercus robur (English oak) and Quercus macrocarpa (bur oak). It is distinguished by its broad pyramidal habit, rapid growth, and deeply lobed, dark green foliage, which turns beautiful golden-brown hues in autumn. Highly resistant to powdery mildew, drought, and salt, it is perfectly suited for urban plantings, large gardens, or landscape alignments. Its straight trunk and well-structured crown give it a majestic and regular silhouette. This cultivar prefers full sun exposure and well-drained, deep soil. 'Clemons Heritage' combines resistance, presence, and vigor, ideal for structuring large spaces with longevity.
