About

Quercus texana, commonly known as Nuttall's oak, is a fast-growing, large deciduous oak tree.

It is a tree growing up to 85 feet (25 meters) tall, with dark brown bark. It has leaves with sharp pointed lobes somewhat similar to those of the Georgia oak (Q. georgiana) and pin oak (Q. palustris). It is fast-growing and usually has a pleasing red color in autumn, much more reliably so than the pin oak.
