Description

Grow a majestic native hardwood with Black Oak Tree Seeds (Quercus velutina). Known for its rugged bark, broad canopy, and valuable wildlife benefits, Black Oak is a long-lived deciduous tree native to eastern and central North America. This adaptable oak provides excellent shade, supports native ecosystems, and produces acorns that serve as an important food source for birds, deer, squirrels, and other wildlife.

Black Oak thrives in a variety of soil conditions and is commonly found in upland forests, hillsides, and open woodlands. Mature trees develop a strong, stately form with dark, deeply furrowed bark and vibrant yellow to reddish-brown fall foliage. These seeds are ideal for reforestation projects, wildlife habitat plantings, conservation efforts, and homeowners looking to establish a durable native shade tree.

Black Oak seeds require 60 days of cold moist stratification before planting to help break dormancy and encourage successful germination.
