    Please never buy this tree. It does not have a nice canopy, and drops it's branches all the time. the acorns are many and you will be pulling up baby oaks for a year. These are one of the few trees we can remove on Hilton Head. After hurricane Mathew they are the trees that came down and destroyed homes along with pines. DO NOT EVER BUY OR PLANT THIS TREE
