Slow growing but extremely drought resistant. Thrives in the poorest and most nutrient depleted soils. Very sensitive to soil compaction and root disturbance. Classic Oklahoma oak - as beautiful as it gets.
Height: 40-50 ft
Sun: full sun to part sun
Soil moisture: Medium to dry
Ecology: Keystone species of crosstimbers ecoregion. Primary component of oak savanna ecosystem and one of all time faves. Host to hundred to insect species.
Other notes: Bare root trees are sold after first year of growth during the winter dormancy period (Nov-March).
