Quercus shumardii is a large, fast-growing deciduous tree known for its stately pyramidal form that matures into a broad, open crown. Reaching heights of 60 to 80 feet, it features shiny, dark green leaves with deep, spiny lobes that transform into a brilliant red or red-orange in the fall. Highly adaptable and stress-tolerant, it thrives in full sun and various soil types, including alkaline and poorly drained clay. It is an excellent choice for urban shade, street, or park plantings.
