Quercus dentata 'Pinnatifida' I've had a couple of these for several years. They don't seem to be putting on much growth but produce a nice crop of these cool leaves each year so I'll not complain.

New leaves unfurl dramatically. They'll hold on to this white color for a while before turning glossy greeen.
