Quercus texana, also known as the Nuttall oak, is a fast-growing red oak native to the south-central United States, particularly Texas. 🌳 It's often planted as an ornamental tree due to its vibrant red fall color and tolerance of wet soils. Its acorns mature in two seasons. Think of it as the adaptable Texan of the oak family! It is different than Quercus buckleyi, also called Texas red oak. It prefers moist, well-drained soil, though.
