The sawtooth oak is a hardy and faster growing oak tree variety. This large shade tree makes an excellent specimen for the yard with seasonal interest.  In the spring you will get long, goldish-yellow catkins that emerge along with the foliage. The thin oval leaves open as a bright yellow color, then change to a dark green in the summer, and a yellow color in the fall. This tree is a little smaller with a rounded, full spread at maturity that is visually appealing. Although this tree is not a native oak its abundant production of fall acorn is popular with wildlife.

General care for any tree or shrub is easy, but like any living thing will require your attention. Please educate yourself and follow these simple rules.
