Bebb’s Oak is a robust hybrid between White Oak and Bur Oak, combining the best traits of both parents to create a large, fast-growing tree that starts producing acorns at a young age. Its adaptability and vigorous growth make it an excellent choice for food plots, timber, and wildlife habitat enhancement.
This oak produces large, nutritious acorns in early fall—an important food source for deer, turkeys, squirrels, and many other wildlife species preparing for winter.
🦌 Perfect for Hunting Properties:
