Skyfest Poplar

Cypress Oak is an upright, columnar tree that is well suited as a privacy screen or for lining paths and driveways. The upright branch angle causes it to have a narrower spread which makes it suitable for areas with limited space. It has been described as having an elegant, formal look, growing into an upright oval shape with a short trunk. Compared to other oaks it has a much faster growth rate, especially when young.

Cypress Oak is an ancient oak species of England. Traditionally druids respect the oldest oak trees, considering them to be oracles.

Note: Most Oak species can be considered toxic for many animals.

Bred by Jeffries Nurseries, the Skyfest is a fast growing, tall cottonwood with excellent disease resistance and adaptability to many kinds of soil. In the fall, its leaves turn a golden yellow.

This species has an aggressive root system, making it unsuitable for planting close to buildings but very drought resistant and an excellent choice for shelterbelts.
