Description

Shumard or Quercus shumardii is a strong, long lived tree with beautiful fall color. This adaptable species has been successfully grown in urban areas where air pollution, poor drainage, compacted soil, and/or drought are common, 

Care

Full sun is the ideal condition for this tree, meaning it should get at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day. The northern red oak grows in acidic, loamy, moist, sandy, well-drained and clay soils. While it prefers normal moisture, the tree has some drought tolerance. Best grown in zones 3-8. 

Growth Habits

Grows as much as two feet a year for 10 years. Grows to 80' tall and 60' wide. This tree grows at a fast rate, with height increases of more than 24" per year. As is with most oak trees, the Shumard has many benefits to wildlife, supporting many species of butterflies, moths, birds and mammals. Deer also browse the buds and twigs in wintertime.

Toxicity

With acorns and oak leaves covering the ground this time of year, many people do not think much of letting their dogs pick up a leaf or acorn, but the fact is that acorns and oak leaves are both toxic to dogs. Deer seem to like the twigs and buds!
