Bur × Gambel Hybrid Oak (Quercus macrocarpa × gambelii)
 
This hybrid oak combines the impressive size and durability of the bur oak with the adaptability of Gambel oak. It typically grows 50 to 70 feet tall, with a broad, rounded crown and deeply lobed leaves that turn golden to brown in autumn. The bark is rugged and deeply furrowed, giving the tree a stately presence.
 
The hybrid produces large acorns that provide food for wildlife, including squirrels, deer, and birds. It is highly tolerant of a range of soils, from upland dry sites to richer bottomlands, making it suitable for diverse landscape applications.
 
Celebrated for its hardiness and ornamental value, this hybrid oak is a great choice for parks, streets, and large yards. Its combination of adaptability, ecological importance, and elegant form ensures it will thrive in both urban and natural settings.
