Grower's Notes:
The majestic white oak of the tall grass prairie. It grows best in deep limestone soils of riverbanks and valleys but it will adapt to many different environments. It has a long taproot, which makes it drought-tolerant. It is fast growing, long-lived and casts deep shade.

Bur oak is noted for its very large leaves and acorns: the leaves are from one-half to one foot long, and acorns can be as large as 2 inches long and wide, enclosed in a cup with fringe on the edge. Its other common names are Mossy Overcup Oak and Prairie Oak.
