Quercus prinus | 1-year seedlings, 12–24"

Chestnut oak is a native hardwood commonly used in reforestation projects, wildlife habitat plantings, and forest management efforts. Typically reaching 60 to 80 feet in height, it is well adapted to dry, rocky, and nutrient-poor sites where many other oak species struggle. Its acorns are an important food source for deer, turkey, squirrels, and other wildlife, making it a valuable species for both conservation and habitat improvement projects.
