Description
Quercus palustris ‘PWJR08’ / Pacific Brilliance Oak
Planting Points: Best known for its terrific fall color, the canopy of the Pacific Brilliance Oak forms an attractive, pyramidal form of upward sweeping branches. It is a useful tree to grow in urban settings where it can be planted as a street tree. Pacific Brilliance Oak is also useful in narrow areas as its slim canopy easily fits into small landscapes, providing a vertical accent. It won’t produce as many acorns as typical oaks, which can be a pro or con depending on the client.
Siting This Tree: The Pacific Brilliance Oak is very tolerant of wet soils and standing water. It is also very adaptable and tolerates urban pollution well. However, Pacific Brilliance Oak is intolerant of alkaline soils, which can cause chlorosis of the leaves and damage to the tree.
