Sawtooth Oak — 15 Gallon
(Quercus acutissima)
Tree Description
The Sawtooth Oak is a fast-growing oak tree valued for its rapid growth, dense shade, and reliable acorn production. Its distinctive serrated leaves, which resemble chestnut leaves, give the tree a unique texture compared to most oaks.
In fall, Sawtooth Oaks produce abundant acorns that are highly attractive to wildlife, making them a popular choice for properties that support deer, turkey, and other native animals. The tree develops a broad, rounded canopy that provides excellent shade and landscape presence.
These 15-gallon trees establish quickly and grow vigorously, making them a great choice for homeowners looking to plant a long-lived shade tree that will grow quickly and become a dominant feature in the landscape.
