The Mighty Oak
Quercus macrocarpa - Bur oak.
The largest eastern oak, it's member of the white oak family (leaves with rounded lobes). Producing sweet, edible acorns
It is a terrific wildlife tree.
The tree on the left was planted in 1998 and is about 20+ feet tall and has a trunk diameter of about 5 inches.
The tree below was planted at the same time and remains a runt.
