🪲 Wildlife value: Like all oaks, Quercus palustris supports a huge number of insects — including caterpillars, beetles and aphid species — which in turn attract birds, bats and beneficial predators. The acorns provide food for jays, squirrels, wood mice and other foragers. Even the leaves and bark support a thriving ecosystem of fungi and invertebrates.
"This is one of the best upright trees for creating height and structure in wildlife gardens without sacrificing space. Unlike many narrow trees, ‘Green Pillar’ is still an oak at heart — and that means you’re supporting hundreds of species, even in tight plots. Pop one into a row of native hedging or use it as a living column near a pond or lawn border — it’s elegant, tough, and alive with life."
