Shumard oak has a pyramidal shape when young and a more open-rounded crown at maturity. The 7" long, lobed leaves often have nice russet red fall color. Acorns may not form until plants are 25 years old. 

Acorns are eaten by woodpeckers, wild turkey, other birds, as well as small and large mammals. Male catkins produce pollen. The trees provide nest sites for birds and pollen for pollinators.

Good choice for a large yard, street tree, or in parks and other public places.
