Post Oak Tree – Hardy & Drought-Tolerant Shade Tree

• The Post Oak Tree (Quercus stellata) is a tough, long-lived native oak species well-adapted to dry, rocky soils. Recognizable by its unique cross-shaped leaves, this tree is highly resistant to drought, poor soil conditions, and extreme heat. It grows at a moderate rate, eventually developing a wide, spreading canopy that provides excellent shade. The Post Oak is prized for its strong, durable wood, historically used for fence posts and construction, giving the tree its name. Its golden-brown fall foliage adds seasonal beauty, while its acorns serve as an important food source for wildlife.

• When planted with Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Packs, Soil Moist Transplant Mix, Max Growth Tree Shelters, and Weed Pro Weed Mats, the Post Oak establishes quickly and thrives for generations, providing shade, wildlife habitat, and landscape beauty.
