Why Plant Heritage® Oak?
The Heritage® Oak was developed to capture the best traits of beloved American oaks in one superior tree. This hybrid, a cross between Bur Oak and English Oak, was introduced by Dr. George Ware of the Morton Arboretum and named in honor of Mr. Clemons, a dedicated plantsman. Known for its resilience and adaptability, it combines the toughness of Bur Oak with the refined branching and mildew resistance of English Oak. The result is a fast-growing, disease-resistant oak with a bold presence. Heritage® Oak stands as a living monument in your landscape, growing stronger and more beautiful each year and leaving a legacy for generations.
How to use Heritage® Oak in the landscape?
Heritage® Oak is ideal for those who dream of a shade tree that will quickly define a space and add enduring value. With its broad, rounded canopy, it creates a natural gathering place beneath its branches, perfect for family memories and outdoor living. Plant it as a centerpiece in a front yard where it can display its full stature, or use it in large open areas to provide relief from the summer sun. Its disease resistance and adaptability to different soil conditions make it an excellent choice for urban and suburban landscapes alike. Over time, it will become a treasured landmark in your neighborhood.How Does Shipping Work?

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
