Nope it’s Quercus invisabalis

Oops!!!

Here ya go!!

that's what i thought! beautiful trees... our municipality planted a number of them..

I have two potential planting sites.. both neutral/slight Alk soil.. one gets a little more seasonally wet and potentially wet if we have a particularly rainy stretch... dried out now but still moist... the other spot doesn't get wet but is quite moist otherwise... I have more room in the "wet" spot though... which is where I'd prefer to plant it... can these take some dampness and some wet? I've read they are very adaptable.... the wet spot doesn't get morning sun right now because of my neigbors' ugly row of box elders....

Honestly a bur oak would probably do fine in both spots.

If you can find one, Chinquapin Oak. Wholesalers are selling them to Ontario municipalities so presumably you should be able find someone who can sell you one.

Why would you pick a Chinquapin Oak Smivies?

Thanks!

Bur oaks are also growing relatively fast imo. I have two of them which I raised from acorn last year, and they're about 3 feet tall.

You're in Hungary? I can see how they'd grow fast there... 7a.. longer growing season.. here in Southern Canada trees pretty much have a 5 month max growing season.. our springs are cold and trees don't get going until May - this year June!

I like both but find Chinquapin Oak to have more refined foliage and never see powdery mildew (Bur Oak is variable IMHO)

Will do fine with some moisture, but be sure to give plenty of room. They become HUGE.

I've heard.. what can I expect in 30 years? would the tree be taller and wider than 30'? I suppose it depends on growing conditions...

@splaker Yes, I am.

Here's one sapling. (Don't mind the "anti-dog" stakes, haha.)
