Nuttal Oak, named for the early 19th century botanist, Thomas Nuttal, is now called Quercus texana by some botanists. It is a large deciduous red oak native to bottomland forests, primarily in the Gulf Coast states. It is a good choice for a shade tree or for street tree use as it is fast growing, has nice shape, good fall color, is readily transplanted, and is adapted to a variety of soils including wet clay soils.
