Wellington Oak

Bur Oak (Quercus macrocarpa)

About this verified tree

This large bur oak grows on the same property as the AC Norkent Apple Parent Tree adding to the site’s unusual concentration of significant heritage trees. This oak is one of the larger oaks in the city, likely planted around the sam time as the apple on the property. The tree has a heavy trunk, deeply ridged bark, and a broad crown that rises above the street edge. Its open grown form shows how much space and time it has had to develop, with large limbs spreading outward into a dense, rounded canopy. Together with the Norkent parent tree, it helps make this property a remarkable piece of Alberta’s living horticultural history.
