Growing up to 80 feet tall with a 50 to 60-foot spread, Shumard Oak forms a large, stately tree with a narrow, rather open, rounded canopy. A lovely dark green during most of the year, Shumard Oak puts on a vivid display of brilliant red to red-orange fall and winter foliage, providing a dramatic landscape statement. Fall and winter coloration varies from year to year in USDA hardiness zones 8 and 9. During the winter the bare tree provides interesting branching patterns. The 1.5-inch wide acorns are surrounded by a shallow, enclosing cup and are popular with wildlife. It is hardy in Zones 6-9. The plant is shipped in a #1 pot with a minimum height of 18 inches.
