2025 Tour
Tree Description:
96-01– Another emperor oak (Quercus dentata), this one was grown from Chinese-sourced seed picked in the China Geographic Collection of the Morton Arboretum in northern Illinois. Sources can differ considerably in their hardiness as well as leaf size and fall color. As noted above under 95-16b, this species will not cross pollinate with any American oak, so by having the species here at Oak Ridge from several sources (two are included in this tour) we are able to harvest some seeds and you should be able to find some tiny emperor hats.
