PLANT PROFILE

Quercus palustris ‘Early Fall’, commonly known as the Early Fall Pin Oak, is an elegant deciduous tree admired for its symmetrical pyramidal form and exceptional autumn colour. Its deeply lobed, glossy green leaves turn vivid shades of scarlet and crimson earlier in the season than most other oaks, extending the autumn display in the landscape. The tree’s fine branching pattern and straight trunk make it a standout choice for structured gardens, avenues, and parkland settings. Mature trees typically reach 10–15 metres tall with a spread of 8–10 metres, forming a dense, uniform canopy.

This hardy oak thrives in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soils. Quercus palustris ‘Early Fall’ is tolerant of frost, wind, and urban conditions, making it a versatile and low-maintenance choice for large gardens and civic landscapes. It’s a long-lived tree that provides excellent shade in summer, vibrant seasonal interest, and strong architectural presence year-round.

They look excellent as feature trees, in avenue plantings, or used to frame driveways and streets. The Early Fall Pin Oak’s reliable colour, symmetry, and toughness make it one of the best-performing deciduous oaks for Australian landscapes.
