Comments:
A very large tree reaching a height and spread of 70 to 90 feet with an impressive crown, massive trunk, and stout branches. Very large acorns are almost completely covered with a furry, bur-like cap. Tolerant of urban conditions and drought. Use as a shade and specimen tree in home grounds and in large public areas.
