The Shumard Oak Tree is a large, stately deciduous tree known for its stunning red fall foliage and strong, upright growth. An interesting characteristic of the Shumard Oak is its adaptability to different soil types, making it an excellent choice for urban landscapes or large yards. It’s also highly valued for its fast growth and ability to provide ample shade.

In southern Louisiana, the Shumard Oak typically grows to a height of 50 to 70 feet with a spread of 40 to 50 feet. It thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth. This oak tree is well-suited for USDA zones 5-9, making it highly tolerant of both heat and cold. Shumard Oaks prefer well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering during establishment, but once mature, they are relatively drought-tolerant and require minimal maintenance.
