Quercus macrocarpa, commonly known as the Bur Oak, is a massive and majestic deciduous tree native to North America. It is celebrated for its impressive size, often reaching heights of eighty feet with a broad, spreading crown. The tree features leathery, dark green leaves with deep lobes and produces the largest acorns of any native oak, characterized by their unique fringed cups. Highly drought-tolerant and long-lived, it thrives in full sun and adapts well to various soil types.
