Bought a new house and have a clean pallete with which to work. Trees are part of my plan. At my previous home I had plabnted both Shummard oaks as well as one Nutall Oak. The Nuttall was still young when I sold - 5 years old from a 5 gallon container grown. Yet, it had some very neat characteristics. It was one of the last trees to put on it's leaves. It had a beautiful fall color. It had a nice open branching pattern with a wider canopy that was great for fescue. Lastly, it did not hold onto it's leaves over winter like my Shummard or Sawtooth oaks. So, was that a unique tree? anyothers have similar expereinces? Which has a wider heighth to width ratio; shummard or Nuttall. Thanks George
