 The Bur Oak is native to the Blackland Prairies of north central and central Texas. The Bur Oak is large stately tree with a symmetrical and densely rounded crown. Bur Oak trees have large leathery leaves that are 8 to 12 inches long and 4 to 5 inches wide with a dark green surface and lighter grayish green color underneath. Bur Oak leaves are highly variable in their shapes which contain 5 to 9 lobes of different size. The lower lobes on a Bur Oak are very small and the upper lobes are large resembling a crown. The Bur Oak is extremely drought tolerate due to its long taproot which is why the Bur Oak is the dominant tree of north central Texas. Bur Oak trees produce the largest acorn of any oak species that are 1 1/2 long and are almost completely covered with a furry, bur like cap. Mature bark on a Bur Oak appears light brown to gray which is highly ridged and deeply furrowed. Bur Oak trees are one of the longest lived oaks in Texas.
