Quick Overview

Scarlet Letter™ Oak is a newcomer to the columnar oak varieties. This tree has the unique characteristic of holding on to its leaves throughout winter. We anticipate it will become just as popular as similar marcescent oak trees. Scarlet Letter showcases a handsome upright, columnar form capable of creating a hedge or as an accent in the yard. Medium green leaves turn red in the fall. This tree will not only add value and visual interest to your home but will also have your neighbors feeling envious and wanting this tree in their yards too!
