Bur oak, (Quercus macrocarpa) also known as blue oak, mossy-overcup oak, or scrub oak, is a North American timber tree belonging to the white oak group, distributed primarily throughout the central United States. It has become a popular ornamental and shade tree in urban areas because of its resistance to insect and fungal attack, drought, and air pollution. Previously common in oak savannas and prairies, the tree is well adapted to fire with its corky fire-resistant bark.
