3 Live Plants Chestnut Oak Tree Quercus montana Bare Root Starter

The Chestnut Oak, botanically known as Quercus montana, is a stately North American hardwood admired for its rugged, ridged bark and large, chestnut-like leaves with rounded lobes. These bare root starter plants arrive ready to establish, offering a rewarding long-term project for anyone looking to add a durable, long-lived shade tree to a spacious landscape. Valued for its strong wood and distinctive foliage, this species develops a broad, rounded crown that provides generous shade as it matures.
Chestnut Oak works well as a specimen or shade tree in large yards, parks, and naturalized settings where its massive eventual size can be accommodated. Its acorns are a notable wildlife food source, and the tree's textured bark adds winter interest once foliage drops. Grow in full sun for best development, allowing ample room for the wide canopy. This is a slow-to-moderate grower that rewards patience with a long-lived, impressive tree. Please note these are bare root plants and should be planted promptly upon arrival for best results.
