It has a rounded crown and distinctive leaves with serrated edges, resembling saw teeth. The leaves are dark green and turn yellow-brown in the fall.

Growing Conditions: Sawtooth Oaks thrive in full sun and can tolerate a wide range of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. They are known for their adaptability to various growing conditions and can tolerate both wet and dry soils. They are hardy in USDA hardiness zones 5 to 9.
-
Maintenance: Once established, Sawtooth Oaks are relatively low-maintenance. They are drought-tolerant and require minimal watering, except during prolonged dry periods. Pruning is generally not necessary, but you can remove any dead or damaged branches as needed. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
