Quercus macrocarpa - From the sweet acorn family of the white oak, the bur oak, which can live from 200 to 400 years, is known for its ornamental bark, its edible nuts, its quality wood and its hardiness.  

Local Selection Our local selection of large-fruited oak includes productive oaks that produce large acorns. Zone 3b and above.

Ashworth (Quercus macrocarpa) Selected by Fred Ashworth in upstate New York, this tree is known for producing acorns with such low tannin content that they are not bitter when eaten raw. Its seedlings may also be low in tannins. Zone 5a and above.

Mid Mo (Quercus macrocarpa) Selected tree by John W. Hershey from mid Missouri. The acorns are as big as a 2$ piece, sweet and very low tannin. Zone 5a and over.


Biotope

It adapts to many types of soil, as long as it is deep. It prefers cool and humid environments, but tolerates little shade. A plantation in full sun is preferable for the growth and the production of fruits. It is ideal for shelterbelts or urban plantings.

Wood

Its hardwood is widely used in carpentry and cabinet making. Close spacing of 5m to 10m between trees, with annual pruning, is ideal for the development of a long straight bole.


Size and shape

The tree can reach 20 to 30m in height and a width of 20m.


Pollination

Self-sterile. A fruiting is reached by the implantation of at least two trees. The tannins of its sweet and tasty acorns must be leached by boiling their flesh in a few waters. They are also highly sought after by wildlife.
