Ruby Spring® Nuttall Oak
Ruby Spring® is a colorful addition to the oak world. This selection is named for the exceptional purple-red hues produced on the new growth during the spring months. Even as the foliage ages to a dark green, the new growing tips keep producing red foliage which contrasts nicely against the deep green within. Ruby Spring® goes yellow/bronze/gold before the leaves fall cleanly.
