Bur Oak
$60.00
Scientific Name: Quercus macrocapra
Bur oaks are large, broad trees, reaching heights between 60 and 80 feet. Their branches are often gnarled with deeply furrowed bark. Native to prairielands, they prefer full sun and often rely on fire to open the canopy enough to grow. Bur oaks are slow-growing and long lived, surviving up to 400 years. The acorns they produce have fringed caps and are eaten by squirrels and other wildlife. Bur oaks are tolerant of both drought and occasional flooding and can grow in a variety of soil types. This tolerance of varied conditions makes bur oaks highly resilient and well-suited to adapt to Minnesota’s changing climate.
