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.
