A large, deciduous shade tree known for its broad, rounded crown and impressive size. Its dark green foliage provides summer interest and turns golden-brown in fall, adding seasonal color. The tree produces large acorns that are a valuable food source for wildlife. Its rugged bark and tolerance for a variety of soil types, including clay and drought-prone sites, make it ideal for parks, naturalized landscapes, and large gardens.
Valued for durability, wildlife support, and low-maintenance growth, it grows best in full sun and prefers well-drained to moderately moist soils. Minimal pruning is needed, primarily to remove dead or crossing branches.
