Learn About Your New Quercus robur 'Fastigiata' - Upright English Oak

Quercus robur 'Fastigiata' (Upright English Oak) looks excellent as a narrow, columnar feature tree that provides strong vertical structure without excessive canopy spread. Its compact form makes it especially suitable for formal gardens, avenue plantings, and urban spaces where space is limited but architectural impact is desired.

The dark green, lobed foliage turns warm yellow to brown in autumn, adding seasonal interest and texture. Its upright habit with a strong central leader ensures a uniform and elegant silhouette throughout the year. In spring, small yellow-green catkins and brown acorns on long stalks contribute subtle natural detail.

This cultivar performs well in full sun with well-drained soil and is tolerant of urban conditions, clay soils, and moderate drought once established. It requires minimal maintenance, with only light pruning needed to shape the tree in early years.

‘Fastigiata’ looks excellent when paired with low-growing shade-tolerant plants or underplanted with spring bulbs to enhance its vertical form and seasonal colour contrast in both residential and civic landscapes. It’s a refined, practical choice for creating strong, formal lines and lasting garden structure.

Ensuring A Strong Start

How to Plant:

  1. Choose a location with well-draining soil.
  2. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the bag and at the same depth.
  3. Position the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
  4. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
  5. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Post Planting Care

When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:

  1. Immediately After Planting:
    Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil.
  2. First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
    The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth.
  3. Irrigation Systems:
    If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering.
  4. Weather Considerations:
    Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons.
  5. Ongoing Care:
    After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.

Long Term & Ongoing Care

Caring for Your Tree:

  • Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells.
  • Prune as needed for shaping or to remove dead branches during the dormant season.
  • Monitor for common tree pests and diseases.
  • Fertilize in early spring to support healthy growth.
