Discover the majestic Quercus macrocarpa, commonly known as Bur Oak or Burr Oak, a magnificent species native to North America's eastern and midwestern United States and south-central Canada. Also referred to as Mossycup Oak, this impressive deciduous tree can reach heights of up to 100 feet and occasionally up to 130 feet, with a massive trunk diameter that can span up to 10 feet. Renowned for its longevity, Bur Oaks typically thrive for 200 to 300 years, with some living up to 400 years. The medium gray, rugged bark and its distinct ability to thrive in open spaces, away from forest canopies, make it a captivating choice for scenery. Cultivated widely for gardens, parks, and urban settings, Quercus macrocarpa stands out as one of the most urban-tolerant and fastest-growing white oaks. Its adaptability allows it to flourish from the cold reaches of Anchorage, Alaska, to the warm regions of Mission, Texas.
