2017 Urban Tree Of The Year - Chestnut Oak

3/3/2017

2 Comments

 
The chestnut oak (Quercus montana) (sun. Q. prinus) is the Society of Municipal Arborists 2017 Urban Tree of the Year.

Native to much of the eastern United States, its distinctive, deeply furrowed bark pairs beautifully with the large leaves that resemble those of the American chestnut. According to SMA, the tree is pH adaptable, handles dry soils and periods of drought, has a beautiful mature form, requires minimal pruning, and tends to be free of major pests and diseases.

Typical size is 50 to 70 feet tall and almost as wide. It's hardy in USDA Zones 4 to 8.
