Description
A Narrow, Upright Oak with Strong Structure and Elegant Form
The Oak Kindred Spirit® is a distinctive, columnar oak prized for its upright growth habit and refined appearance. This unique selection of English oak grows tall and narrow, making it an excellent choice for landscapes with limited space where a traditional oak would be too large. With its deep green foliage, strong central leader, and rich golden-brown fall color, Kindred Spirit® delivers classic oak beauty in a space-saving form.

• Attractive Fall Color: Leaves transition to golden yellow and bronze tones in autumn.
• Strong Branch Structure: Develops a sturdy framework resistant to breakage.

• Watering: Water regularly during establishment; drought tolerant once mature.

How to Plant
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
