| The Japanese Evergreen oak was introduced in 1978 from Japan and China. It makes a handsome, almost shrubby appearance in the landscape. New foliage is either a rich green or bronze to purple green and is very attractive when the new foliage emerges which usually occurs in early April in the Piedmont. The leathery, lustrous dark green leaves are beautiful throughout the seasons. Its generally small size allows it to occupy sites with limited area. Makes an excellent, large screen plant and requires minimal maintenance. It sometimes produces heavy crops of shiny acorns which are also attractive, but potentially messy. Fine specimen tree. |
