Description
Cultural Information:
Found along rivers and in rich moist soil in nature; it does well in dryer conditions and is considered a drought tolerant species. Braun (1961) suggests it may be more prevalent in western Ohio than indicated on the Ohio range map.
Associated Species: [6]
Hickories, White Oak, Blackgum, Tuliptree, Beech, Blue Beech, Flowering Dogwood and Witchhazel.
Field Observations:
It just seems to jump out of the pot in the nursery. Shumard Oak gets the top prize for being the fastest growing oak. A one year old seedling 18″ tall can grow an additional six feet or more in one summer. Fall color for us is a beautiful red that is deeper and darker red than rubra (borealis); almost a black cherry red. It transplants well from container grown stock and does not seem to suffer from leafhopper damage like pins and reds do.
