1 Live Seedling Overcup Oak Tree Quercus lyrata 10 Inch Tall

Overcup Oak (Quercus lyrata) is a stately native shade tree known for its distinctive acorns, whose caps nearly enclose the nut, and for its tolerance of wet, low-lying ground. Its bold, deeply lobed leaves turn muted yellow in autumn, and the broad, rounded crown makes it an excellent long-term landscape specimen for large yards, parks, and naturalized areas.
This oak works well as a shade tree, a wildlife-friendly native planting, or a long-lived anchor in a moist corner of the landscape. It grows at a moderate rate and develops a strong central leader when given room, producing acorns once mature. It can be planted in spring or fall while dormant or semi-dormant.
