Bur Oak is one of the toughest and most dependable oaks you can plant. Known for its massive size and giant acorns, this oak is a magnet for deer and turkey in the fall. Being in the white oak family acorns are sweet with lower tannin levels than many other oaks, making them highly preferred.
Bur Oaks stand out for their adaptability to drought, upland sites, and poor soils. They thrive where other oaks struggle, giving you consistent mast production even in challenging conditions.
Mature trees can live for centuries, producing enormous crops of acorns that wildlife flock to every fall. Planting Bur Oak gives you a permanent legacy tree that will provide for wildlife for generations.
