Sawtooth Oak

Description

SAWTOOTH OAK

The Sawtooth Oak (Quercus acutissima) is a non-native tree to North America coming from East Asia, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the fastest growing, annually heavy producing, and cold-hardy oak trees you can plant on your property to improve habitat and food plots. It is highly adaptive to soil conditions but prefers deep, well-drained soil. The Sawtooth Oak will start producing highly desired acorns within 6-10 years and produces the best when planted near other oaks for pollination.  

Since Sawtooth Oaks from Bluehill Wildlife Nursery will be 3-4 years old, you could be getting acorns from your trees within 3-6 years! If you are looking for a very fast-growing and early producing oak tree that will greatly benefit the wildlife on your property with heavy annual crops of acorns dropping in September and October, the Sawtooth Oak is a great addition to your property.  

Key Information:  Planting Zones 5-9, Soil pH 5.5-7.0, Mature Height 50’

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWTOOTH OAK

Plant at least two Sawtooth oak trees nearby for pollination. A minimum of 30′ for tree spacing when planting Oaks. They can grow in various soil types, but I recommend avoiding wet areas. These trees are tolerant of low pH and low fertility, but, as with any tree, when you raise fertility by providing adequate nutrients, they can produce even faster than I stated above. Requires at least 6 hours of full sun.
