This oak is a an attractive and sturdy shade tree. Its name derives from its saw tooth cut leaves which open golden yellow in the spring, giving way to a lustrous dark green in summer and then fading back in to a yellow and golden brown due for gorgeous fall color.
Aside from its attractive features, the Sawtooth Oak is used for its fast growth and large canopy to provide excellent shade. Its prolific acorn production adds value in attracting wildlife as well. This tree is an excellent choice for creating a homey feel in any landscape.
