Japanese Emperor Oak

This is a stunning large leaved oak, with leaves reaching as much as 1 foot long and 7 inches wide. Known for its hardiness, it grows at a relatively slow rate, ultimately to approx 12+ metres. Quite unusual among European growers, it will become a prized specimen in any mid sized garden.
