Quercus nuttalli
The Nuttall Oak (Quercus nuttalli) is a medium to large deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States, often found in bottomland and floodplain areas. Growing 40-70 feet tall with a rounded canopy, the Nuttall Oak features deeply lobed, dark green leaves that turn yellow to red in the fall. Its small to medium-sized acorns are an important food source for wildlife. Known for its fast growth and tolerance of wet soils, the Nuttall Oak is a popular choice for reforestation, wildlife habitat, and landscaping in areas with moist conditions. Its strong, durable wood is also used in construction and furniture-making.
