Nuttall oak specifically is named for its discoverer, Thomas Nuttall, an 18th and 19th century English botanist. Nuttall oak is a fast grower, and can grow to a moderate height of 50-75' tall in yard or home garden settings, but may reach heights of up to 100-140' in the wild; \u003cem\u003eQuercus texana \u003c\/em\u003ehas a much larger canopy spread than some other similar oaks, and a 75' tall tree can easily spread to a 60' diameter. As a member of the red oak group, \u003cem\u003eQuercus texana\u003c\/em\u003e is well known for its brilliant red to scarlet fall foliage, as well as its production of fairly average looking acorns; leaves are very similar to those of close relatives pin oak (\u003cem\u003eQuercus palustris\u003c\/em\u003e) and Shumard oak (\u003cem\u003eQuercus shumardii\u003c\/em\u003e), and is often confused for these trees or with Texas red oak (\u003cem\u003eQuercus buckleyi\u003c\/em\u003e) because of the similarity between scientific and common names.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNuttall oak is typically planted for shade purposes with its wide-spreading canopy, and has become very popular for this purpose as in parks and large yards, but this impressive specimen can also work great for mitigation or rehabilitation purposes.
