A fast-growing deciduous tree native to Asia, valued for its rapid growth, adaptability, and abundant acorn production. It typically reaches heights of 40 to 60 feet with a spread of 40 to 50 feet, forming a rounded crown with glossy, dark green foliage. The leaves are deeply lobed with serrated edges, resembling the teeth of a saw, hence its name. Sawtooth oak produces small acorns that are a valuable food source for wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and birds. This low-maintenance tree thrives in a variety of soil types and is often planted for timber production, wildlife habitat enhancement, and ornamental purposes.
