Swamp Bur Oak Hybrid

[Hardwood11]

I just checked my Swamp Bur Oak plantings in MN. Zone 4 (Western part of state) ... The growth and survival on these trees is quite impressive.

Variety of soils, doesn’t seem to matter, doing very well.

Should be quite the gem for the better soils and better growing conditions in Iowa.

It’s been a good growth year for Swamp White Oak, & the Swamp Bur Oak Hybrid !

This is in Minnesota.

Looks great!! So many folks think oaks “take forever” to grow and produce. Not the case!!!! Even the white oak (slowest) can surprise me from time to time how fast they go if they get sun & clearly don’t get messed with.

Has anyone tried the Concordia oak hybrid??

Results?? Are they available in future?

Planted a dozen or so this past spring. About to peek out the top of the tree tubes. Will be buying more

Where are you buying them at?

They are a great tree for Iowa/Missouri... I’ve bought mine from Kelly Tree Farm in Iowa.
***if the grow like that in MN, it would be way better down in Iowa.

I had a handful shipped to MN from Kelly tree farm in IA last spring. 18" seedlings planted last spring - where they get full sun most are approaching the top of a 5' tree tube now in year 2 in less than good soil.

I think I’ll order a few potted Swamp Bur Oaks (5-6 foot) and try to baby them on my new Missouri farm.

We have rural water now…so I can water the trees a couple extra times.

I’m also adding some Red Oak, Swamp White Oak, Pin Oak, Bur Oak & some Concordia Oak (seedlings)!
