Arborist Thoughts
An excellent oak for use in challenging sites. Overcup oak is a bottomlands species in its native habitat and adapts well to poor quality soils, poorly drained sites and restricted root zones.
Overcup oak transplants well and is faster growing than most other oaks in the white oak group.
Great specimen tree or a street tree for areas where overhead utilities are not an issue.
