Quercus alba ‘Lincoln’
The NE American 'White oak' makes a bold specimen in this country, though is unjustifiably rare. Only a medium sized tree in the UK, up to c18m, with impressive deeply lobed foliage, expanding with a hint of red on new growth, green in summer and turning to a splendid deep purple-crimson in autumn. The bark is strikingly rough and loosely ridged. This clone is propagated from a tree under which Abraham Lincoln spoke in 1840. So there! Very hardy, this species laps up as much heat as we can throw at it, though has still made 11m in Edinburgh! Not suited to thin chalk soils.
