Sawtooth Oak (Quercus acutissima)
Sawtooth oak trees are quick growing oaks that begin to produce acorns at an early age. Sawtooths are native to Asia but have become an established oak tree in the U.S., in large part due to their desirability as a food source for wildlife.
Typically, Sawtooth oak trees begin producing acorns when the trees are five to seven years old. Unlike many oaks, Sawtooths usually produce heavy acorn crops every year, providing a reliable food source that draws in wildlife year after year.
Sawtooths are the first oaks to drop their acorns in the fall. The acorns drop between late September and the end of October, well before most other oaks. Deer, turkey, and other animals crave Sawtooth acorns and quickly devour them after they fall to the ground.
Sawtooth oak trees will grow in a wide variety of soil types. However, for best results Sawtooths should be planted in areas with fertile, well-drained soils that receive full sunlight.
* Sawtooth oaks will not survive in sights that are flooded for more than 24 hours during the summer or in areas that are densely shaded.
