Growth Rate and Mature Size
Fast growth rate; it reaches a mature height of 60 to 80 feet and a width of 40 to 60 feet.
Watering and Sunlight
Water deeply once a week during the first few growing seasons to establish a strong root system. Once established, the Shumard Red Oak is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Shumard Red Oak requires full sun exposure—at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily—to thrive and achieve its fast growth rate.
