About
Chestnut Oak Trees: Chestnut Oak is a medium-sized,
native, deciduous tree. It is long-lived and slow-growing. At maturity,
chestnut oak is usually 65 to 80 feet tall and 20 to 30 inches in
diameter @breast height. Chestnut Oak is usually found on dry, rocky,
infertile soil with a low moisture-holding capacity, although it grows
best in rich, well-drained soils along streams.

Seedlings
initially develop a deep taproot, but saplings and larger trees
have six to ten main lateral roots extending 10 to 33' from the
root crown. These roots occur from near the soil surface to a depth
of 36 inches. The acorns are large, but do not appear until the
tree is around 20 years old.
