Sawtooth Oak
An attractive wide-spreading shade tree with chestnut-like bristle-toothed foliage that showcases beautiful colour throughout the seasons, changing from gold in spring to dark green in summer and back to gold in autumn. Inconspicuous yellow-green catkins appear on the branches in spring as the leaves are emerging. Dark grey to reddish brown furrowed bark offers winter interest and the oval acorns are a valuable food source for birds and small mammals, though trees may take up to 10 years to crop. Fast growth rate.
How to grow
Plant in full sun. Grows well in a range of soil types and conditions. Drought tolerant once established.
