This is one of my favourite trees on campus. The vividly bright green leaves contrast beautifully with the deeply textured bark, and the thick foliage provides a good place to take shelter from the scorching Texas sun.
Bur oaks are massive trees, meaning that the one on campus is likely still in its adolescence. In fact, bur oaks often exceed 100 feet in both height and width! The size, coupled with the ‘deeply furrowed bark’ allow this tree to have the widest natural territory of all the eastern oaks. They also have the largest acorns of all the oaks.
