Shumard Oak Plant Description Shumard Oak, Quercus shumardii, is a native tree to the southeastern United States. Shumard Oak is a type of deciduous southern Red Oak that is wonderful for wildlife and erosion management. It has a nice red fall color and is relatively disease resistant. It makes an excellent reforestation and timber tree and is known to live for centuries under the right conditions. With this in mind, it is a perfect candidate for reforestation programs such as the USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and programs sponsored by the EPA. It is also a wonderful shade tree for yards and has lustrous dark green foliage during the summer and spring months. We are now taking orders for our 1-2 Foot Seedling Shumard Oak trees for Winter and Spring of 2010.

Planting Instructions - Dig a hole three times the diameter of the root system, with a depth no deeper than the original soil line on trunk. Break up the soil to the finest consistency possible. Place plant in hole and fill, compacting the fill dirt. Water the plant heavily to seal soil around the roots and remove air pockets. Fertilize according to the recommendation of your local agriculture extension agents, or fertilize based on your own knowledge and experience. We do have balled and burlap trees available in wholesale quantities. Please call with the size and quantity that you are interested in, and we will provide you with a quote. We DO NOT ship to states West of the Rocky Mountains.
