Maximize your property with the rugged beauty and utility of the renowned Sawtooth Oak Tree (Quercus acutissima)! This precocious selection grows quickly as a young tree, and starts producing an oval-shaped acorn mast very early in life.
Unique leathery leaves give the Sawtooth its name. Long, lustrous, and serrated … Sawtooth foliage starts spring bright yellow. Young trees grow quickly when young and form a full, yet pyramidal shape. Over time, the Sawtooth Oak tree takes on a rounded canopy as it reaches maturity.
Over the summer, the leaves turn dark green and provide a shaded spot for birds to shelter. As temperatures dip, the golden-yellow fall color brings another feature to your landscape. Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 5-9, these are wildly adaptable trees that have naturalized here in the US!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant your Oak tree in an area where it will get full sun all day, from the first day until its 100th year. During the first season, pay close attention to watering. Use the finger test and poke down into the soil near the roots. Protect your investment with a consistent watering schedule until your tree is established, then after the roots are established in your soil, you can periodically saturate the whole area to encourage deep roots.
Fertilize in spring with a formula for trees or a good general slow-release formula. Follow application rates on the label. Prune in late winter while your tree is dormant. Correct the branch structure while your tree is young for best results.
