The deep lobes of this form of emperor oak make a fine texture.
The cut-leaf form of the Japanese emperor oak makes a unusual specimen for the garden. The foliage is lobed to near the midrib for almost a ferny texture. The tree grows to about 20′ tall and is narrowly upright. Emperor oak is easy to grow in full sun to light shade.
The cutleaf emperor oak has a narrow habit.
