Quercus macrocarpa (North Dakota source) (Bur Oak (North Dakota))
Native across a broad range in the eastern US, it is consequently variable in leaf form, size and growth rate. Our seedlings are of Missouri source. This patriarch forest tree is best for parks and large, open landscapes.
Native range is Southwest Europe and northwest Africa, but it is completely at home in warmer regions of North America. Its corky bark can be sustainably harvested every 10 years or so. Frost sensitive, it must be grown in warm climates. A tree of exceptional ornamental beauty for its bark and handsome foliage.
