Shumard Oak

$0.00

Quercus shumardii

Strong shade, classic form, and a fiery fall finale.

A stately oak built for presence, Shumard Oak offers a broad canopy, strong branching, and dependable shade in larger landscapes. Its deep green, lobed leaves create a lush summer canopy, then turn rich shades of red in fall—bringing a bold seasonal moment. Adaptable and resilient once established, it’s a beautiful choice for parks, properties, and anywhere you want a legacy tree to take root.

Wren Hollow Tip

Give it room—this is a tree that wants to grow into its full form. Deep, occasional watering helps establish strong roots and long-term drought tolerance.

Ask a Pollinator…

“Is this a good oak for Southern Utah conditions?”

“How fast will it grow compared to other shade trees?”

A legacy shade tree for spacious landscapes
