Bender OakQuercus x benderi
32-0145-A
Native to eastern North America. This magnificent specimen is a natural hybrid between the
native scarlet (Q. coccinea) and red oaks (Q. rubra). Although its exact age is unknown, we
suspect that it well predates the Morrises and may be up to 250 years old. It anchors the 'top
of the hill' of Compton and provides a dramatic gateway to the garden. Look for its wonderful
branch structure in winter, lustrous green leaves in summer, and russet red fall color.
