| Hi folks. My apologies if there is a separate forum for tree identification - any direction is greatly appreciated.
I would love to identify this type of tree. I like it because it is growing upright. This is in Massachusetts. Pics below. Many thanks -

| Several columnar oaks out there, that's a good one. What was that LArch thinking, spec'ing a narrow-crown tree in a parking lot?!?!?!?! Dan |

| "Looks like Regal Prince Oak to me" - ditto.. and very common in the nursery trade. You shouldn't have much trouble locating one. The ones I have seen for sale though not too big and in black containers already had acorns on them. John |

| What's the life span of one of these trees? (I mean if it didn't have a mile high pile of mulch on top of it.) Those narrow crotches sure look like a crummy infrastructure to me. Fifteen to twenty years before they start to collapse like the Bradford? |

| The wood is much stronger on these trees and they aren't known for falling apart. Personally I highly recommend this tree. I used one very close to the lot line where I needed to maximize the space with a nice vertical accent. |
