Nuttal Oaks are large, beautiful shade trees that are very adaptable to many soil conditions. Native to wet, heavy, bottomland soils in floodplain forests along the gulf coasts and up the Mississippi River basin, it does well in low moist areas but is also drought tolerant once established. Does well as an urban street tree.
Rich, dark green foliage (similar to Pin Oak) turns to a vivid red-orange fall color with a clean fall leaf drop. Like most oaks, it is a keystone species, and is home to hundreds of animals, while being a host plants for several species of moths and butterflies.
