Quercus velutina | 1-year seedlings, 10–20"

Black oak is a native hardwood commonly used in reforestation projects, wildlife habitat plantings, and forest management efforts. Growing up to 90 feet tall, it produces acorns that serve as an important food source for birds, deer, and other wildlife while also providing valuable cover and habitat. Black oak is valued for both timber production and conservation plantings and performs best on well-drained sites.
