Bethlehem Ga.
c The Little Town Under The Star
will celebrate Arbor Day on Saturday, Feb. 25,2017
by planting a tree in the town park.
Join us in the celebration beginning at 10 a.m.
Native to the American Southeast and
Midwest, Nuttall oak (Quercus nu-
tallii) is quickly replacing some other
oaks, such as pin oak (Q. palustris),
red oak (Q. rubra), and Shumard red
oak (Q. shumardii), because it com
bines all of their good points while
lacking their weaknesses. It quickly grows into a pyramidal
tree 40 to 60 feet tall with a strong central leader. It accepts
most soils, even alkaline or
wet ones. It drops all of its
, Jm
leaves cleanly in late fall.
Nuttall oak leaves plenty
of head room beneath its
branches, making it an ex
cellent lawn, patio, or street
tree. It doesn’t develop sur
face roots and won’t invade
water lines.
Maples are rightly recog
nized as the best shade tree
for fall color, but Nuttall
oak is no slouch. Its deep
ly lobed leaves turn bright
red in mid- to late fall, usually after the maples have dropped.
Now you may think that a tree with a nutty name like a Nut
tall oak would be hard to find at garden centers and nurser
ies. Not necessarily... Because of the tree’s quick growth and
pleasing shape, wholesalers like growing it and retailers like
selling it. You just have to ask for Nuttall oak by name. It’s a
good choice for USDA Zones 5-9, which includes all of the
South except tropical South.
