My tree was planted at about 6 feet last year. It kept the dried leaves until 2 weeks ago. It is very late to leaf out, only now are the buds starting to swell, everything else in my garden is green already, except for the beech.

Planted a sapling in 1988 this tree is now about 35' and shades the entire front yard. The acorns drop and babies are everywhere. I will be potting them in the next week for a benefit, and expect they will do fine with a good fertilizer. Its a grand tree not yet full grown over rhododendrons, azaleas and other shade lovers.

There is a beautiful specimen of this tree in front of Red Oak Elementary school in Oak Park, California. Has anyone any additional info on this plant in Southern California? I am considering planting one in my front yard. This tree appears to be full grown at about 35' tall, with a nicely rounded shape and beautiful red fall foliage.
