| I have 3 in my yard. They are doing good. Can you post pics of yours? And how old are yours? If you can't that's fine, I just wanted to see how they'll look in a few seasons. There are few images of the trees in their in-between years. I have seen a mature tree in pictures. I know that hybrids vary, but I was curious what yours look like. Thanks |

Thanks Dax. How old are yours? The leaves are the same as mine look. They say that the trees can vary, that is why I wanted to see someone elses. I want to see the mature one in Williamsburg, Va in person. Maybe next spring. Thanks for taking the time . Mine are 2 yaers old here's a pic or 2.  pg" target="_blank"> |

| Hi poaky, I photographed that Compton's at a friends arboretum. My photo of the tag doesn't indicate the year planted. Dax |

| Yeah Icadem, I got mine from Mossy oak natives. I have 3 of them but only posted pics of 2 of them. The one I didn't post is in our dog yard and has a fence around it to protect it from dog pee and digging. The top pic is the first one I bought the other 2 are a year younger. Once I got one I wanted a couple more. |

| great to hear that, I am very excited about their selection of hybrids, alba x lyrata, alba x michauxii, and lyrata x michauxii are all very interesting! |

| If I had more room I would be trying Bebbs oak. I think that one is from Oikos. I have to stop though. If I am going to have room for understory plants in the future, I have to allow room for them. If an oak dies I will have an opening. I don't foresee that happening though. I just planted some Q. Alba acorns to replace a Shingle oak. The Shingle wants full sun so I have to find a place for it. The Q. Alba can stand the part sun it will have until the ailing tree it's under dies. I am happy with the Magnolia's they have at Mossy oak too. |
