Narrative
Tall, long-lived, deciduous hardwood tree native to the Great Plains from southern Texas up through and into Canada. Originally collected from native stands in Custer County, Oklahoma. Selected from seven collections evaluated in a series of long term growth trials, 'Boomer' consistently outperformed the others in overall growth and habit. Moderate growth up to 60 feet. Branches form conspicuous corky ridges after second year. Bark light gray. Deciduous leaves, dark green with grayish green undersides, dense, large (ranging in size from 6-12 inches long and 3-6 inches wide). Field studies at three sites have proven this selection is well adapted for windbreak use on the Southen High Plains and Rolling Plains of Oklahoma and Texas. It is adapted to a wide range of soil types and will perform well in dry areas when provided supplemental irrigation. Heavy spreading branches, large dense leaves, and large acorns make it attractive to wildlife by providing shelter and food. It will make an attractive landscape plant for urban and recreation areas by providing dense shade. Hardiness Zone 5. Released by James E. "Bud Smith Plant Materials Center in Knox City, Texas in 1994.
