COMO YOU KNOW: McBaine bur oak tree

The 350-plus-year-old big bur oak, which is planted on John Sam Williamson Jr.'s property, has such a strong genetic makeup that it has survived extreme flood and drought. The tree's superior genes make it ideal for grafting.

The largest bur oak tree in Missouri is located in Boone County.
