Quercus palustris ‘Early Drop Form’ (EDF)

Quercus palustris ‘Early Drop Form’ (EDF) is a selected form of the Pin Oak, a fast-growing deciduous shade tree valued for its strong structure, dense canopy, and reliable autumn colour. It develops a pyramidal form when young, gradually maturing into a broad-spreading shade tree suited to large landscapes, parks, and open urban spaces

This selection is noted for its earlier leaf drop compared to standard forms, which can be beneficial in reducing seasonal leaf litter duration in managed landscapes

In autumn, the foliage turns shades of red and bronze, providing strong seasonal interest before leaf fall
