Plant a piece of American heritage

This oak is the ultimate survivor—thriving in tough conditions that would challenge other trees, from clay-heavy soils to temperature swings and drought stress. Its thick, rugged bark and sturdy branching structure create a bold architectural presence that only improves with age. Watch it develop a massive, spreading crown that delivers serious shade and visual impact. The large, deeply lobed leaves put on a golden-bronze fall show, while the distinctive acorns with their fuzzy caps become a wildlife magnet. Whether you're looking to establish a landmark shade tree, create a windbreak, or invest in your property's future, the Bur Oak delivers unmatched durability and character that grows more impressive every year.

Truly iconic, beautiful tree

I have two of these beautiful trees. As you can read in the tree description and see in this photo, the Bur Oak is not only almost bullet proof, but beautiful as well. I do have the trees pruned every year to raise their canopies. Their acorns do attract squirrels! They are an A+ tree
