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.

Scientific Name: Celtis occidentalis
Hackberry is a highly adaptable tree that can thrive in a variety of conditions, making it especially climate-ready. It grows 40 to 75 feet tall and is moderately fast growing. It is common in floodplains and is tolerant of poor drainage, flooding, drought, and alkaline or compacted soil. Hackberry is recognizable by its bumpy bark and small, dark red fruits that ripen in early fall. The fruit is eaten by birds and small mammals and remains on the tree into winter.

Scientific Name: Acer rubrum
Red maples are fast-growing and easy to establish, reaching heights of 40 to 65 feet. They prefer acidic, moist, well-drained soil but can tolerate poor drainage, compacted soil, and drought. Red flowers bloom from March to May, and in the fall, their leaves turn orange to brilliant red. Their winged seeds spread and produce many seedlings. Red maples’ ability to grow in a wide range of habitats makes them predicted to do well in future climate conditions.

Scientific Name: Acer saccharinum
Silver maples are very fast-growing trees, reaching heights of 50 to 80 feet. Often found on floodplains, they prefer moist to wet soil and are tolerant of flooding. This tolerance of flooding makes them resilient for future climate conditions. They prefer full sun to partial shade and are not very shade tolerant. Silver maples need to be pruned when young to promote healthy growth. In the fall, their leaves turn yellow to gold.

Scientific Name: Quercus bicolor
Swamp white oak is a slow growing, long-lived tree that is typically 50 – 65 feet tall. It is native to floodplain forests and is tolerant of flooding and sedimentation that occur in those habitats. Swamp white oaks can also tolerate some drought and drier soil. This tolerance makes it climate resilient in the Minnesota climate. They prefer full sun and acidic soil but can tolerate alkaline soil as well. Swamp white oak can be differentiated from bur oak by their acorns, which have a smaller cap than bur oak acorns.
