| Last year the Shumard Oak tree was listed as a Texas Super Star plant. However, I went to the website today, http://texassuperstar.com/plants/index.html, and the Shumard Oak is no longer listed as a Super Star.
Was it removed as a result of the oak wilt epidemic that I hear has been hitting Central Texas right now? I understand a lot of Shumard Oak trees and other Red Oak species have been severly affected. Please let me know if you have any info. I considered planting a Shumard here in south Central Kansas, but I don't want to if there is a chance that this oak wilt outbreak is gradually moving North. |

| I don't look on their site too much but I don't think it was ever on the list. It should be a good tree in your area if you need a big tree. On the Texas red oaks, oak wilt in central Texas affects Quercus buckleyi the most. |

| I think you meant Earthkind type? It was never on Texas Superstar list. |
