soils but prefers moist soils. Well-adapted to alkaline soils, poor drainage,
and high clay content, Bur Oak is also very drought-tolerant. Bur Oak grows
best in full sun. Bur Oak will adapt to various soils where other Oaks
sometimes fail but is difficult to transplant from well-drained soil due to

of the deep taproot. The tap root dominates the root system on young trees
growing in well drained soil. If you are planning to buy Bur Oaks for landscape sales
we highly recommend our
root growing bags for easy transplanting as the Bur Oak tap root can not
penetrate the bag.. Many caterpillars feed on Bur Oak
but only the gypsy moth is a serious pest.
