Siting This Tree

Plant in well-drained soil and ample sunlight for optimal growth. Bur oak can be found growing on dry uplands on limestone and gravelly ridges, sandy plains, and loamy slopes. It can also be found growing in moist flood plains of streams. It is tolerant of drought conditions and occasional flooding. While its size may be a consideration for smaller spaces, the benefits of its longevity and beauty far outweigh any limitations.

Considerations

Pruning should be done in the dormant season to prevent attracting beetles that are potentially carrying oak wilt and to prevent further spread of the fungal pathogen that causes bur oak blight.
