The beautiful and native Shumard Oak is a sturdy option for plantings in residential yards, mitigation projects, roadside beautification, and cityscapes. With its tall and tight form, this tree is easy to train into a narrower specimen than most oak trees. It is hardy in zones 5B through 9B and can handle drought conditions, compacted soil, and air pollution. They have a beautiful fall show with bright red to gold leaves before leaf drop. Their acorns are of interest to an array of local wildlife, including squirrels, deer, and other mammals. They are also incredibly disease and pest-resistant, making for a beautiful tree with little hassle. |
