Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The Nuttall oak, was formerly known by the species of nutallii, causing some confusion! This beautiful oak is found growing from Texas to up to Illinois and over to Kentucky. Not only fairly fast-growing to 50-80', but able to withstand periodic flooding (attributes unusual to oaks). Sharp pointed foliage has reliably good red fall color, with its adaptability and ease of transplant it is very useful in streamside and wildlife planting. This is a wonderful tree for rain gardens and low areas. S/M-W
