Description

Unusual oak tree with dark green leaves and gracefully weeping branches which cascade down from the main trunk. We have found that Quercus robur 'Pendula' is best grown up a large cane, or pole to the desired height from where the support is removed and the branches allowed to cascade to the ground. A lovely, elegant, weeping garden tree.
