If you want an more upright oak, with a lighter feel, the Turkey oak is for you. The tree is good for:

• golden autumn colour, better than most white oaks, brown leaves linger on into winter
• the deciduous leaves are deeply lobed with 5-7 pointed tips
• leaf colour is glossy green
• moderate to fast growing up to 25m
• more drought tolerant than most deciduous oaks
• shade is moderate to deep
• acrons are oval and half enclosed in a ‘mossy’ cup
• Note: the timber splits, unlike most oaks, so good for firewood not more
• the bark is deeply fissured and silver-grey
• for parks and gardens
