Description

The Chestnut Oak is a beautiful native shade tree with highly attractive foliage that unfurls pink and becomes silvery before turning to dark green with fall bring shades of yellow to red. The glossy leaves are up to 8 inches in length by 3 inches wide and resemble those of the Chestnut tree, hence the name. The large, 1.5-inch-long acorns which fall in Autumn are particularly sweet-tasting and relished by many types of wildlife. The chestnut oak is also admired for its attractive deeply ridged and furrowed dark brown to black bark. All grown up, the Chestnut Oak develops a rounded crown that might reach 40 to 60 feet in height with an equal spread, making it a fine selection for providing shade or to frame driveways and other larger entryways. Exceptionally easy to grow and low maintenance with high drought tolerance and disease and insect resistance.
