A large deciduous shade tree known for its classic pyramidal to rounded habit and brilliant fall foliage. Its dark green summer leaves turn vibrant shades of red in autumn, providing striking seasonal color. The tree produces small acorns that attract birds and wildlife, and its strong, sturdy form makes it ideal for parks, streetscapes, and large landscapes.
Valued for durability, brilliant fall color, and low-maintenance growth, it grows best in full sun and prefers well-drained to moderately moist soils. Minimal pruning is needed, primarily to remove dead or crossing branches.
