Shumard oak (Quercus shumardii) is a large (50-90 ft) shade tree with leaves that can turn scarlet in the fall.

Shumard Oak is a relatively fast-growing, long-lived, and adaptable oak. This species is quite drought resistant and also withstands short-term flooding.

Uses: Shade and fall color; the acorns provide food for wildlife, including birds and mammals; the tree (living and dead) provides nesting space, cover, and den sites for a variety of animals.
