As you enter the Medford Campus from Wilkins Station Road, by the silo, you will likely note the group of Bur Oaks, Quercus macrocarpa, along the side of the road. These native trees feature significantly sized acorns – the largest of any North American oak. This fall season, the NJ State Forestry Tree Collection Project has asked if they could visit the Arboretum to collect some of these acorns for a project they are working on. We expect them on Campus soon. If you drive slowly, you will see that the tree branches are laden down with the weight of the acorns. The Bur Oak grows best in the open, away from the forest canopy, so the Meadow area is a perfect location for this species.
