Description
Regal Prince is a stunning, upright hybrid oak that brings a polished, stately presence to any landscape. Its tight, columnar form makes it a fantastic choice for narrow spaces, avenues, and urban plantings where a strong vertical statement is needed. The lush, deep green foliage remains fresh and vibrant throughout the season before turning an elegant yellow in fall. Its strong branching structure and tidy habit make it an excellent low-maintenance option for creating privacy screens, windbreaks, or adding a refined architectural element to the landscape.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Once established, rarely needs supplemental watering except in prolonged drought
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune in late winter if needed to remove dead or crossing branches and maintain shape
With its strong, upright form, lush foliage, and excellent adaptability, Regal Prince is one of the finest choices for bringing vertical interest and year-round beauty to the landscape.
