Product Details
Bur oak is a fast-growing, long-lived tree known for its adaptability and large, low-tannin acorns. Its resilience and rapid growth rate make it a strong candidate for long-term ecological projects. Growers can expect a durable, substantial tree that supports local ecosystems for generations. We offer this species as bareroot stock for late fall and early spring dormant planting.
Quercus macrocarpa is a fire-resistant native species most commonly found in the Midwest and is arguably the most adaptable oak in North America. It produces some of the largest acorns of any oak, which are low in tannins and served as a primary food source for many Indigenous peoples. These trees thrive in open sites and can live up to 300 years.
Ideally suited for open landscapes, bur oak serves well in wildlife habitats, nut orchards, or as a substantial shade tree. It prefers moist, well-drained loamy soils but can adapt to a range of soil conditions. Planting sites should receive full sun to support its rapid growth. At maturity, this tree can reach 80 ft tall and 60 ft wide.
Our bur oak is grown from seed sourced from Grimo Nut Nursery in Ontario, Canada.
