PicturePlant NameBotanical NamePlant Description
Bur OakQuercus macrocarpaVery large deciduous trees with quite uniform shapes. Light brown to grey bark is deeply ridged on older trees. Leaves are deeply lobed and, as with most members of the White Oak family, have rounded edges. Produces many acorns with a large cap that covers most of the shell. The acorns and leaves require some cleanup in highly maintained landscapes. Acorns are edible but may require some processing to remove the bitter tannins. Tolerant of many soil types.
Columnar English OakQuercus robur f. fastigiataNarrow, columnar growing deciduous tree with a short trunk. Dark green, lobed leaves turn brown in the fall and usually are retained by the tree through the winter along with the acorns. Tolerant of many soil types and drought. Most often used in areas with limited room and is commonly seen in urban landscapes.
English OakQuercus roburLarge. stately deciduous tree. Tolerant of drought and many soil types. Requires little pruning due to excellent branch development. Dark-green, lobed leaves turn brown in the fall and may stay on the tree through the winter. Best used in drier climates due to its susceptibility to powdery mildew. Produces acorns which can become messy. Robur in the name references its strength and the hardness of the wood. Acorns are edible but may require some processing before eating due to high levels of tannin that cause a bitter taste.
Gambel OakQuercus gambeliiSmall deciduous tree native to the western United States. 2-5" long lobed leaves are dark green on top with pale and hairy undersides. Inconspicuous green flowers give way to acorns. Acorns are edible when properly prepared to remove the tannins. Grows in dense stands and clumps.
Northern Red OakQuercus rubraLarge deciduous tree with rapid growth rate. Forms an open, rounded crown that makes an excellent shade tree. Large, dark-green leaves are sharply lobed and turn bright red in the fall. May struggle in highly alkaline soils. Acorns are edible but require extensive preparation to remove the bitter tast. Has a tendency to form poor branching structure if not properly pruned.
Wavyleaf OakQuercus undulataTall, deciduous shrub native to Utah. Wavyleaf Oak is a hybrid of Gambel Oak (Q. gambelii) and Shrub Live Oak (Q. turbinella). Elliptical leaves have wavy edges and are dark blue-green above and dull green and hairy underneath. May be difficult to find for resale.
