Nuttall Oak
Item Nbr: 453144590
The Nuttall Oak tree, Quercus nuttallii, was not distinguished as a species until 1927. It is also called red oak, Red River oak, and pin oak. It is one of the few commercially important species found on poorly drained clay flats and low bottoms of the Gulf Coastal Plain and north in the Mississippi and Red River Valleys. In addition to producing timber, Nuttall oak is an important species for wildlife management because of heavy annual mast production. (Quercus nuttallii)
