This burly tree can easily handle a variety of conditions, from polluted air to droughted soils. It is equally adapted to both the cold and heat. Its large leaves (up to 1 foot long) have distinctly deep lobes that turn a golden color in the fall. The massive acorns of this tree make quick work of attracting all sorts of critters to its habitat who end up sticking around due to the valuable nesting spots.


Landscape Uses & Maintenance Tips for Burr Oak Trees

 

Due to the broad size this tree grows into, it is an incredibly effective windbreak and shade spot. Additionally, its large spread requires an even larger planting spot, making this a popular choice for park restoration. The young sapling will form a deep central taproot, making careful transplanting a necessity.

It is recommended to mulch around the base of the seedlings to help with weed suppression. Prune only when needed in the dormant season to help encourage a central branch.


Unique Characteristics of Burr Oak (Mossycup Oak)

 

They will quickly begin to produce distinct bark with deep, vertical creases. The leaves are often described as fiddle-shaped due to the smooth but deep carved-out lobes.
