Looking for a stately and reliable tree for your garden or park? Look no further than the Quercus macrocarpa, also known as the Bur Oak, Mossycup Oak, or Mossycup White Oak. Native to North America, this deciduous tree can grow up to 70 ft tall and can live for hundreds of years. It is one of the largest and most massive oak trees, with a trunk diameter of up to 10 ft. The bark is a rugged gray, and it boasts shiny, dark green leaves that turn yellow-brown in the fall. But the real showstopper here is the mossy cup that encases its acorns - truly a unique and distinctive feature. This tree is ideal for urban areas, as it is very tolerant of drought and can handle a variety of soil types. Bur Oak is great for providing shade and visual interest to any landscape - order yours today!
