Description

When it comes to Oaks, you want one that you can admire day after day as you watch it grow in your yard! But what if you don't have much of a yard for a huge Oak and its spreading limbs?

Introducing the Regal Prince® Oak (Quercus robur x bicolor 'Long') is one of those Oaks. With ravishing green foliage with a silvery underside and a unique upright columnar form, this Oak will earn its spot in your yard and your admiration.

How did the Regal Prince® Oak earn its name? It comes from a lineage of royalty among other Oaks! This tree is a cross between the Swamp White Oak and the Columnar English Oak. Regal Prince® Oak has a stronger and fuller branching structure than other trees in this category, and the two-toned green leaves contrast beautifully.

The Regal Prince® Oak torches the sky with an autumnal blaze once fall arrives. It smolders at a golden yellow for a few weeks before igniting into a rapturous red. Thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 7, and grows 40 - 45 feet tall and just 15 - 18 feet wide at maturity!

Landscape Application:

It's easy to see what makes the Regal Prince® Oak stand out among others. It grows tall in an upright pillar-like form. It will grow to be a giant, so choose a spot in your yard carefully. It will reach its full height over the course of decades and does transplant well, though.

If you love wildlife, the Regal Prince® Oak will turn your yard into an amusement park for squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and pollinators. Increase the fun by hanging a bird feeder on a branch and using your binoculars to keep track of what species visit this royal Oak! This regal tree makes a lovely specimen or an addition to your park-like setting or wildlife-friendly grove!

  • Tall, Slim Columnar Oak
  • Hybrid Vigor Kicks The Growth Rate Up
  • Strong Full Branching
  • Excellent Choice for Wildlife!
  • The New Standard For Street Trees

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Most gardeners adore the Regal Prince® Oak's ability to thrive in poor soils such as clay and sandy soils. It prefers full sun and will soon shade out what's around it, so plan for a shade garden in the near future. Loving consistent moisture when young, deep waterings encourage deep roots. That way, established trees are drought tolerant but a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around their roots to help keep them stress-free! Prune any wayward or broken branches when the tree is dormant in late winter.

  • Need Full Sun
  • Well-Drained Soil
  • Moderate Moisture Needs
  • Prune When Dormant
  • Easy To Grow

Although, as a more upright Hybrid Oak, it won't drown your entire yard. Order your Regal Prince® Oak Tree today at NatureHills.com!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much space should I leave around the Regal Prince™ Oak Tree for growth?

  • Plan for at least 8-10 feet clearance on all sides since this oak reaches 15-18 feet wide at maturity. The columnar form means it won't spread as much as typical oaks, but you'll want adequate space for its 40-45 foot height. Choose your planting location carefully as this tree grows for decades.

Does the Regal Prince™ Oak Tree grow well in clay or sandy soils?

  • The Regal Prince™ Oak thrives in poor soils including both clay and sandy conditions. This hybrid oak's vigorous root system adapts well to challenging soil types in zones 4-7. Choose your planting location carefully since it reaches 40-45 feet tall. Find yours at naturehills.com.

What are the sunlight requirements for the Regal Prince™ Oak Tree?

  • Regal Prince™ Oak thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fall color development. This columnar oak tolerates partial sun but may grow slower and produce less vibrant autumn colors. Plant in an open location where it can receive morning sun for best results.

How do I properly plant a Regal Prince™ Oak Tree, including hole size and soil prep?

  • Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the container height. Regal Prince™ Oak adapts well to clay or sandy soils and transplants easily in zones 4-7. Backfill with native soil and water thoroughly after planting.

What are the watering needs for a newly planted Regal Prince™ Oak Tree?

  • Water newly planted Regal Prince™ Oak trees deeply 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. This hardy hybrid adapts to various soil conditions but needs consistent moisture while establishing its strong root system. Reduce watering frequency once established, available at naturehills.com.

When and how should I prune the Regal Prince™ Oak Tree?

  • Prune Regal Prince Oak during late winter dormancy to avoid oak wilt disease. Remove only dead, damaged, or crossing branches since this hybrid has naturally strong, full branching structure. Minimal pruning is needed due to its excellent columnar form.

What pests or diseases commonly affect the Regal Prince™ Oak Tree, and how resistant is it?

  • The Regal Prince™ Oak shows good resistance to common oak issues like oak wilt and anthracnose due to its hybrid vigor from crossing Swamp White and Columnar English Oak genetics. Like most oaks, it may occasionally face aphids or scale insects, but its strong branching structure helps it withstand pest stress. Plant in well-draining soil and provide adequate spacing for air circulation to prevent most problems.

How is the Regal Prince™ Oak Tree shipped—bare root, container, or balled and burlapped?

  • Regal Prince™ Oak trees are typically shipped as container-grown or balled and burlapped specimens, depending on size and season. The product description mentions it transplants well, which is crucial for establishing this 40-45 foot oak in zones 4-7. Choose your planting location carefully since this columnar beauty will reach full height over decades.

What size container or height can I expect for the Regal Prince™ Oak Tree at purchase?

  • Regal Prince™ Oak trees typically ship as young saplings in containers, usually 1-2 years old and 4-6 feet tall. Since this oak reaches 40-45 feet at maturity over several decades, even small starter trees establish well due to their excellent transplant ability. Plant in your chosen permanent location, as this columnar oak will grow into a substantial specimen tree.

Is the Regal Prince™ Oak Tree hardy against ice, snow, or cold winters in zone 4?

  • The Regal Prince™ Oak is fully hardy in USDA zone 4, tolerating harsh winters with ice and snow. Its hybrid vigor from English and Swamp White Oak parentage provides excellent cold tolerance. Plant it in a protected spot for best results during extreme cold snaps.
