Common Name: bur oak
Scientific Name: Quercus macrocarpa
Category: Unique tree
Comments: This is the only bur oak that I know of locally. People come over from Loudoun County to propagate the acorns, which are larger than golf balls. (Editor's note: there is a disjunct population of bur oak in Clarke County. It is much more typical of the prairie forest border.)
