The Bur Oak is a stately tree, ideal as a specimen, park, or street tree, with an upright, open, oval crown. This impressive tree can grow to a massive size in open areas. Its large, dark green lobed leaves turn a yellowish-brown in the fall, while the textured, corky bark adds year-round interest. The acorns attract a variety of wildlife. Hardy and adaptable to different soil types, the Bur Oak is drought-resistant and can live for hundreds of years. It is a great choice for planting in parks or on larger properties.
