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.
Amur Maackia is a robust and pretty tree often used for urban decoration and landscaping. This tree has coppery peeling bark that can sometimes resemble lace. Its upright clusters of small white flowers usually bloom in midsummer. Amur Maackia's Small size makes it a great choice for small yards or limited space.
