What are the adaptations of a bur oak?

2 comments:

  1. The Bur Oak can with stand fire with it's thick bark and the seedlings can too. Bur Oak trees loose their leaves in the winter. In the spring they have beautiful green leaves. In the fall they have red, yellow, and orange leaves. While in the summer the Bur Oak is full of leaves and they make a nice rustling sound when the wind blows through the canapy.

    Having thick bark that withstands fires is a great adaptation! Great information :)
