Plant Description

Quercus acutissima, commonly called the sawtooth oak, is a striking deciduous tree species native to East Asia. Gardeners appreciate this ornamental oak for its distinctive leaves that resemble a saw's edge, giving the tree its unique appearance. This Asian oak grows into a majestic tree, often admired for its elegant form and robust presence in landscapes.

The Q. acutissima displays deeply lobed leaves with sharp, bristle-like tips that contribute to its nickname bristle-leaf oak. Its bark is rough and furrowed, adding texture to any garden setting. This East Asian native tree produces small acorns that wildlife eagerly seek. The tree’s autumn foliage transforms into warm shades of yellow and brown, enhancing its ornamental appeal throughout the seasons.

  • Leaves have sharply serrated edges like a saw blade
  • Produces small, attractive acorns in clusters
  • Rough bark adds interesting texture to the trunk
  • Deciduous habit offers seasonal color changes
  • Grows into a broad, graceful canopy over time

The Quercus acutissima is an excellent choice for adding character to parks or large gardens. Its combination of unique leaf shape and sturdy growth habit makes it a valued Asian oak. For those seeking an ornamental tree with both beauty and wildlife benefits, this deciduous tree species stands out as a perfect option.

Cultivation

Soil type: Adapts to a wide range of soils—loamy, sandy, or clay—but prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral conditions.

Watering frequency: Moderate when young; becomes drought-tolerant once mature but benefits from deep watering during dry spells.

Light exposure: Full sun is ideal; tolerates partial shade but with reduced growth and autumn color.

Temperature requirements: Hardy from -25°C to 35°C (−13°F to 95°F); thrives in both cool-temperate and warm climates.

Fertilization: Not heavy-feeding; apply compost or a slow-release tree fertilizer in early spring to support growth.

Pruning: Light structural pruning in winter; remove dead or poorly formed branches. Minimal intervention required long-term.

Common pests: Generally resilient; may occasionally be affected by oak wilt or scale insects in stressed environments.

Other care practices: Fast growth makes it ideal for quick coverage and erosion control. Allow space for root spread and canopy expansion.
