Quercus × morehus

Also known as: Information to be completed

A semi-evergreen tree to approximately 15m, this is a hybrid between an evergreen and a deciduous parent. The result is glossy green leaves of medium size and medium toothed edges, but in winter some leaves are kept green, some turn yellow-brown and some fall. This gives it a very distinct airy appearance

Fertilizing

Balanced shrub or tree feed once each early spring

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autunm

Growing

Suited to large gardens and parkland. Grow in any well-drained but moisture-retentive soil in good light. For more information see tree cultivation.
